From TheCraneWives.com:

In Japanese folklore, the crane wife is a bird disguised as a woman who spins fine silks from her own feathers, until her identity is discovered. The Crane Wives spin fine songs from whole cloth, and you will never want the melodies to leave your head. From murky origins in Chinese restaurants, high school ska bands, and dorm room jam sessions, the band came together in 2010 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and immediately began gathering a following with intricate melodies, sister-harmonies, and compelling songcraft. Initially part of the indie folk boom, their sound has grown and broadened with each new recording till categorization becomes difficult: rock, pop, folk? Just call it really good music.

Audiences and critics agree: seven "Jammie" awards from influential radio station WYCE in '11, '12 and '17; winner of Best Folk/Country song from international competition ArtPrize for "Easier" in '12; and selection as one of ten "Entries We Loved" from the renowned NPR Tiny Desk Contest for "High Horse" in '17.

Kate Pillsbury: guitars, vocals, a twinkle in her eye that tells you she sees through your BS but chooses to be amused by it.
Emilee Petersmark: guitars, banjo, vocals, boots that will stamp out injustice wherever it may lurk.
Ben Zito: bass, occasional howls, secret production weapon.
Dan Rickabus: drums, harmony vocals, engineering, relentless and frankly exhausting levels of positivity.
