Sugarcane Jane, otherwise known as Anthony Crawford and Savana Lee from Loxley, Alabama — have been Americana’s sweethearts from Alabama’s Gulf Coast for over a decade. Between them, they have amassed a rich musical heritage working with such notables as Neil Young, Steve Winwood, and Dwight Yoakam. The music they make together is simple and direct, rooted in country and rock, and anchored by their sweet and soulful harmonies. To know the couple’s roots is important in understanding the foundation of the duo’s incredible story. Anthony’s musical career has lead him all over the world beginning at Opryland at the age of eighteen to performing at the Grand Ole Opry with Roy Acuff, to being on tour with Sonny James, Neil Young (The Shocking Pinks, The International Harvesters, The Electric Band), then Steve Winwood (Roll With It Tour), Vince Gill, and Dwight Yoakam. He's had appearances on Hee Haw, Austin City Limits, Live Aid, Farm Aid, Showtime, the Late Show with David Letterman, the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Today Show, Grammy Awards Show, made music videos (Wonderin-Neil Young, Gone- Dwight Yoakam), been in movies (Heart of Gold- Neil Young, Neil Young Trunk Show, Blackhawk DVD). He's played on stage with Paul McCartney with Neil Young at Hyde Park. He took the cover photo for Neil Young's Chrome Dreams II al- bum. His songs have been recorded by Steve Winwood, Dwight Yoakam, Kenny Rogers, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Oak Ridge Boys, Lorrie Morgan, Billy Burnett, Sawyer Brown, and others. "One of the liveliest, most engaging Americana CDs you're likely to hear this or any year." (Vintage Guitar Magazine) The last decade has been an intricate part of Anthony's ultimate direction. After marrying musical partner Savana Lee and settling down in the rural southern Alabama town of Loxley, a whole new perspective has emerged in their songwriting as well as touring life. They have grown a loyal following and an all American brand of music completely orginal and homegrown rooted from a southern spirit of the deep South. After seeing their 2020 tour evaporate in front of their eyes due to Covid-19, Sugarcane Jane redirected their energy to the Hibernation Tour, 43 live stream concerts in a row from their home studio (Admiral Bean Studio). During that time they recorded and released Fellow Man but found themselves with more left to say. “An album that deserves to be at the top of critics’ lists” and “One of the best duos since Johnny and June” - The Washington Times The songs for Ruffled Feathers; Songs in the Key of Me began emerging soon after and in six days the album was written, recorded, and sent off to manufacturing. Released as their tenth studio album on August 14, 2020 by Admiral Bean Records, the ten songs are the pinnacle of Anthony’s songwriting. Uplifting and universal, the album has struck a chord with many across the globe as we are all sharing the same struggles. 2023 brings live music back to the forefront and Sugarcane Jane back on the road for some select shows in support of Anthony’s former boss/bandmate, Dwight Yoakam.  Joining them at the Bluebird, longtime friend and Bucket Filler bandmate, is Pete Nice on electric guitar.

Lolly Lee is not just a singer; she's a multi-instrumentalist musical icon from Birmingham, Alabama. Her journey, filled with ups and downs, resonates with many, making her a beacon of inspiration for aspiring artists. At 63 years young, after countless shows, bands, kids, marriage, loss, rebirth, Lolly proves to be a survivor, not just of herself but of her dreams.  Her soul.   Her destiny.  With every note she sings, Lolly Lee continues to etch her legacy in the annals of Birmingham's rich musical history and beyond.   Lolly's musical prowess led her to join the rock band, The Mortals consisting of Rick Kurtz, Lolly Lee, Don Tinsley, Bruce Crain, Mike Matos and Marcelle Nichols. They played regularly in the early 1980s at the Old Town Music Hall where they grew their die hard following.  As lead vocalist, Lolly's voice, a blend of power and emotion, commanded attention with the wispiness of Stevie Nicks mixed ever so gently with the heart of Joni Mitchell and the reckless abandon of Lucinda Williams became the band's signature  sound.  She later transitioned to the role of a rhythm guitarist and co-vocalist with the band Split the Dark.     Split the Dark, a rock band active in Birmingham and around the southeast during the 1980's started out as the Calton Phillips Group, named for founders Tommy Calton (guitar) and Marc Phillips (keyboard and vocals), long-time friends who had been members of Hotel and other well known groups dating back to the late 1960s. Another Hotel alumnus, Eddie Usher played bass guitar and Steve Sample, Jr played drums. This transition showcased her versatility as an artist, proving that she was not just a singer but a complete musician. However, as life would have it, Lolly took a hiatus from the band to embrace the joys of motherhood.   The years she was not in the public eye, Lolly was proving to be a gifted songwriter, documenting her experiences of love, life, and living in rural Alabama.  After losing her longtime husband Jeff Stern in 2023, Lolly turned her grief into songs, finishing out what would ultimately be her long-awaited, highly anticipated debut album.  Lolly recruited long time friend and Neil Young guitarist/producer Anthony Crawford to record what some have called a masterpiece.  This debut album undeniably puts Lolly Lee into the driver's seat of  “Unknown Legends” and Anthony Crawford riding shotgun as "Producer to Watch".  Recorded at renowned Admiral Bean Studio, released on colored vinyl February 16, 2024.  An underestimated-underdog-real-deal-rock-and-roll artist coming out of nowhere from the suburbs of Birmingham, Alabama, meet Lolly Lee.
