Early career

 

Crimson House initially begun as a bluegrass duo and by 2012 as a high octane blues quartet .The  group toured as "Crimson House Blues" and had released two albums under the name, "Smoke Dust & Whisky" (2012) featuring the cult hit “Breaking down low”, and “Red Shack Rock” (2013) featuring “Aphrodite” & “Pindrop Circle”. They dropped the “blues” in their name and released “Come Alive” (2015) which featured 16 songs with the addition of Nick Becker & Gareth Harvey as the newly added horn section that would change their sound forever.

 

After 2015 The group then featured as the backing band in a cabaret circus in which they adopted a new found love for gypsy music to the likes of Gorgol Bordello and Balkan Beat Box. This new found love lead the group to establish a new direction in their music and thus has begun the new journey of which they are creating for their 4th Studio album in which they are delving into their South African/ Namibian roots.
