Valley Maker

Seattle-based singer-songwriter Austin Crane (aka Valley Maker) has one of the most remarkable voices in contemporary pop music. Accompanied by heartfelt, wistful acoustic guitar arrangements, Valley Maker sings about the concept of movement on his latest album ‘Rhododendron’. As a musician and a PhD student in Human Geography, he reflects both the rootedness and rootlessness that shapes Valley Maker’s songwriting on the precipice of his third decade; resulting in trail of mystical folk songs.
