Backstory:
Reflecting Crow emerged from the heart of rural Montana in 2002, initially as an escape for childhood friends Jason ‘Jazzy J’ Johnson (lead vocals, guitar) and Timothy ‘T-bone’ Abrams (bass). The duo, who grew up on neighboring farms, found solace in their shared love for music amidst the monotony of everyday farm life. The band got its unique name from a curious incident where Jazzy J found a crow perched on their barn’s rooftop, appearing to stare at its reflection in a nearby pond. The sight struck a chord with the duo and they decided to name their band ‘Reflecting Crow’, signaling their music’s introspection and emotional depth.

Their big break came in 2006 when drummer Samuel ‘Sammy’ Peters and keyboardist Greg ‘G-man’ Miller joined them. This addition of vibrant talents led to a fuller sound and more complex arrangements, setting the stage for Reflecting Crow’s rise to fame. With their organic, soulful tunes and thought-provoking lyrics, they’ve captured the hearts of thousands and stand as a beacon for the alternative country genre.

“Scattering Seeds”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] In the heartland where the [D] whispers grow,
[C] Stood a crow reflecting [G] in the afterglow.
[G] Beneath the sky of endless [D] blue,
[C] We planted dreams that we [G] knew.

(Chorus)
[D] Scattering seeds in the [G] wind,
[C] Hoping they’ll reach the [D] end.
[G] We’re just farmers in our [D] hearts,
[C] Sowing hopes, playing our [G] parts.

(Verse 2)
[G] The sun sets as the [D] night unfolds,
[C] The story of our lives, the tale [G] we’ve told.
[G] Amidst the shadows and the [D] light,
[C] The crow reflects our [G] fight.

(Chorus)
[D] Scattering seeds in the [G] wind,
[C] Keeping faith in our [D] kin.
[G] We’re just dreamers in our [D] souls,
[C] Sowing songs, reaching our [G] goals.
