Nights of late-night, beer-driven jamming around on any Tom Petty song they could think of led Winston-Salem’s Crenshaw Pentecostal into breaking away from a backing band role for a solo artist in 2017. Dusty Redmon (Beloved/The Almost), Brian Norris (Ross Coppley/Deals on Bombs), and Zach Tilley began working up their sound of dirty Americana-tinged rock and roll and wound up sharing stages with Bon Jovi, Gin Blossoms, Old 97s, Futurebirds, Tyler Bryant, and lots more. Jeremy Smith (John Mark McMillan/Thousand Dollar Movie) and Drew Ely (Eno Mountain Boys) completed the lineup, giving the band a real “Heartbreakers meets the Replacements” vibe.
