Backstory:
Crooked Ocean was formed in the heart of Melbourne, Australia in 2013, when childhood friends Jacob “Jay” Harper and Noah Dean began experimenting with different music styles after college. As they honed their skills, they realized that their unique blend of folk and rock resonated with audiences. Jay, the lead vocalist, brought in his cousin, Charlotte “Charlie” Harper as a bassist, while Noah excelled as the band’s drummer. They were soon joined by keyboardist Ethan Bailey, which added a new flavor to their sound. The band started playing local gigs before they were discovered by a talent scout at one of their performances.

Their journey wasn’t easy, and they faced many challenges, but their love for music and their commitment to their unique sound kept them going. They were named ‘Crooked Ocean’ as a nod to the unpredictability of their journey, just like the ocean’s waves.

“Twisted Tides”

Song Lyrics:
(Verse)
Dm C
Sailing on the twisted tides,
G A
Hoping for the morning’s light,
Dm C
Chasing dreams in the star-kissed skies,
G A
Bound by the rhythm of the night.

(Chorus)
Dm C G A
Crooked Ocean, take us home
Dm C G A
Where the winds of freedom blow
Dm C G A
We’re lost sailors, in your arms
Dm C G A
Crooked Ocean, take us home

(Verse)
Dm C
Storms may come, winds may blow,
G A
But our strength won’t let go,
Dm C
With hopes held high, and fears held low,
G A
We trust the waves, and go with the flow.

(Chorus)
Dm C G A
Crooked Ocean, take us home
Dm C G A
Where the winds of freedom blow
Dm C G A
We’re lost sailors, in your arms
Dm C G A
Crooked Ocean, take us home
