Since the release of her debut album Let's Do This Thing in 2015, Kerry Pastine has taken the national roots music scene by storm, spending much of the past three years touring North America. Her follow-up EP Bad Magic Baby (released in June 2017) clearly shows the singer's growth as a songwriter, performer and recording artist; proof that her star is still on the rise. 

Kerry is now infamous for her no-holds-barred, pedal-to-the-metal live shows and that reputation has landed her on some of the best stages, shows and festivals throughout the US. From playing sweaty, sold-out clubs as a headliner, to the coveted support slot for Brian Setzer's sold-out June 2017 Rockabilly Riot show at the Arvada Center, to sharing the main stage at the Bohemian Nights New West Fest with The Steve Miller Band, Kerry Pastine is wowing audiences everywhere. Pandora raves, "The vintage tones swing and punch -- like Joan Jett backed by the Stray Cats," and a review of her holiday record "It's a Crime Scene Christmas" proclaimed, "Every song is an original and every one is a winner. Kerry and company leave the bigger names in the dust. Kerry Pastine is Wanda Jackson, Patsy Cline, Grace Slick and Ann Wilson all rolled into one." 

Kerry Pastine has always been a believer in mixing ideas from the past into something new, fun and exciting. There are elements of blues, jump blues, rockabilly, classic soul and garage rock all spun together in an intoxicating original sound that fans are calling a "roots rock & roll party." Party is definitely the name of the game for Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene. Kerry's songs are born from a joyful celebration of life, love and hazy nights filled with live music, friends and just a hint of danger. 

One of those hazy nights is captured perfectly in the video for Let's Do This Thing. The video caught fire, landing Kerry and her band on television, radio and stages across the U.S. The Fox 31 Everday Show featured the video for their Viral Video spot where hosts Chris Parente and Kathie J commented, "I love this! I could not believe their sound. I thought, 'They have to be [from] L.A.' They are going places!" While on tour in Nashville, the band was invited to the 515 Studio for a televised interview on Nashville Entertainment Weekly where they talked about Kerry's "incredible" video and how her unique sound sets her apart from other artists and bands in the "Americana" genre. As Longmont Magazine points out, "It’s rockabilly with a Patti Smith attitude. They’re good. Really good. The music market really is ripe for some rock and roll, so they well may be on their way to bigger venues and locations." 

Bigger venues and locations are exactly where Kerry Pastine plans on heading for the rest of 2018. Past shows have included many major festival appearances and shows with Brian Setzer, The Steve Miller Band, The Record Company, Shakey Graves, Cracker, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the legendary Dick Dale and many more. Kerry has an impressive Summer 2018 schedule lined up and will be touring in support of her upcoming record, to be released at the Arvada Center on August 17, 2018. Kerry thrives on hard work, writing songs and bringing those songs to as many people as possible. It's time for the rest of the world to DO this thing with Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene! 

The sound is at once familiar, but modern. Vintage, but cutting edge. This ride isn't an old Cadillac. Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene is a souped-up hot rod with bulletproof glass, a modern chassis and a shiny new engine. The perfect vehicle for a life of crime and musical performances born of sin.
