Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Still Crooked After All These Years

With their latest album, Some Strange Country, Boston’s Crooked Still stretch the sonic potential of the conventional string band into provocative new territory. The swirling, multidimensional record defies easy categorization and represents the quintet’s most daring — and rewarding — work to date. This Thursday, the band celebrates its new record with a release show at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. Songwriter Sarah Jarosz opens.
