About Us

Our Story

JENKINS & CRUM  each have a repertoire of original songs and have covered tunes from the Beatles to the Stones and from the Eagles to the Byrds and everything in between.

These Old Friend Musicians have known one another a long time and have had their "ups and downs" which lends their music an authentic "down to earth" feel.  As their fans will attest, they have a unique ability to relate to their audiences.

The myth is that Ed and Will were introduced to music at the end of a BB gun in a garage by a masked man sprinkling salt claiming to know something about ice hockey and studio wrestling.  After that is was all downhill.  For those who need more details, the myth can only be confirmed by asking them between sets at a show.  There are many stories to tell of their adventures, the ones that can published are:

In 1988, as members of the acoustic band ALLIES,

JENKINS & CRUM  were finalists in the First Annual Acoustic Competition hosted at the historic

Graffiti Showcase Club in Pittsburgh. 

Over the years, ED had been in numerous bands including Stranger, EMJ, and the Robinson Power Band. 

In 1997, WILL formed  WOODEN NICKEL which was chosen by the readers of IN PITTSBURGH NEWSWEEKLY as

Best Original Folk-Rock Band.

​

Together these Old Friend Musicians will entertain you and your guests on a musical adventure with original songs and covers of classic folk-rock tunes to celebrate good times.
