Biography
The Cornelius Crane, a multi-instrumentalist alt-Americana band from East Manchester are mixing up the influences of the best of seventies Americana with the best of British prog & Mancunian folk traditions.
Frontman Steve Wilson has been a cornerstone of Manchester music for many years fronting cult Madchester band Bong, the experimental Plastic Gun Alliance and Smile Like Fools who were courted by Miles Copeland, before his later band, also called Wilson, signed a deal with Fiction.
As a producer, Wilson has worked on albums for ex Chameleons drummer & guitarist John Lever & Dave Fielding, seventies punk legends Ed Banger & the Nosebleeds, rising stars Mary Joanna & the Southern Electrikk and Audioweb frontman Sugar Merchant with his band SupaJamma.
The line up is completed by brothers Dan & Mark Adams formerly of Valve, Jonathan Jackson & Paul Higham who joined Steve Wilson in Plastic Gun Alliance and guitarist/vocalist Jonny Roberts.
Following well received performances on this summer festival circuit and the release of three EPs to a strong critical response, the band have attracted fans from across the UK and strong radio support.
Ahead of the release of their recently completed album, The Cornelius Crane return with a three track EP 'Soul in the Lightening'
