    I saw Crowbar live by accident. I went to see The Melvins at The Masquerade in Atlanta. They finished early and I was drunk so I walked into another part of the venue that had Crowbar playing on a different stage. Great show. FACT!

    I had the privilege to meet Kirk when Crowbar came to Louisville, KY. He made a pit stop at Mom's Music before the gig at Diamond Pub to get a microphone and a friend of mine calls me, "Dude! I don't care what you're doing right now get your ass down here at Mom's music you'll never believe who walked in here!" Without hesitation I got in my car and hauled ass to Mom's music and walk in and there he was. "Kirk, you're such an inspiration to my music! Care for a quick picture with me and my girlfriend?" "Thank you man. Yeah, sure no problem!" A little surprised by how short he was! Lol. But a legend and bar none one of the most down to earth severely underrated rockstars around! 🤘

    Mike Williams, from EHG was also singing for a band called Crawlspace with the mighty Joe Fazzio on drums.
    They both opened for Graveyard Rodeo that night at the VFW hall and Christians were protesting outside.
