album

CRUSH performed in Carson City at The Venue Friday night with Ryan Parker & Phasmo. CRUSH did old song, songs from their current album New World and some not yet released songs! There were more people than the last time they played there but there still needs to be more! CRUSH had friends, family and some fans from Reno show up and also made some new fans as well. The boys got a lot of nice comments after and during their performance from some of their faithful fans and some new comers! Carson seemed to really liked the fact that they came back, let’s hope they will be back again!

The New World Comes To Carson City with Reno local band CRUSH! plays at The Venue on Friday, March 29. CRUSH is the kind of music you will want to jump and throw your hands with singer and drummer Jimmy Dunn and 'Lose Control,' which is also a song off their 2012 debut album “First Crush.”

Known for their own self-production and original songwriter, the group's second studio album “New World” (2013) was produced by CRUSH’s own Daniel Sion, who also does the live computers, sound-board, synthesizer at live shows as well as sing and sometimes run the main sound-board for the whole show.

It was just released in the United States and now Zobel and his band Soulrise are embarking on their first US tour.

At the age of 14, years after requisite piano lessons - and discovering he didn't like the discipline required - Jorma Kaukonen discovered guitar and found it was his instrument.
