THANK YOU ALL!!

"Take It Away" is a plea to not give up in the face of what seems like overwhelming odds. Take just one more breath, do just one more thing, and that’s the first step to healing. It features both Lawrence and McClure leading the vocals, but also harmonizing throughout. It’s beautiful, and poignant…" - Shawn Underwood, Twangville

crow and gazelle is the musical and artistic partnership
of Mike McClure and Chrislyn Lawrence.

mike and chrislyn met nearly two decades ago, lifetimes in some ways, and then reconnected in 2018 when they were both
in the midst of personal reckonings and changes.
they didn’t fall in love, they rose up to meet each other there.

Crow and Gazelle, the name and banner for the musical partnership of Mike McClure and Chrislyn Lawrence, is a hymnodic, moving collaboration borne out of the connection between two people healing, loving, and growing together. Their songs—built around their entangled close harmonies and sparse, reverent acoustic instrumentation—are wrought out of the love they have come to find for themselves and for each other. Their debut outing, As Above Now So Below, which will be released on April 26, 2024, is an album centered on acceptance and growth in the face of pain… and on embracing the sacred nature within each and every one of us.

from the oklahoma hills and the plains of west texas
it’s the whole linear circle coming back around to lean in
and breathe deeper.

through music, crow and gazelle explore deeply personal and universal truths like grief, the healing power of love, anxiety, addiction, and religious trauma. in each song, and throughout their live shows, the artists reach deep inside to feel and share pathways to a better understanding of being alive.

”We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
