NEW online store! Click here to purchase Snow Crow shirts and CDs. The Snow Crow Saga Snow Crow was formed in 1989 as part of the process of putting together the CD, Photographs of Green Man by Snow Crow and Axolotl. This album was a solo project of one of the original members, Dan Fassett. In the liner notes linked to above you'll find the specifics including the personnel details that characterized the CD. In Photographs of Green Man the Snow Crow songs have a decidedly more folkish element to them while the Axolotl numbers lean towards rock and blues. After several years the band Axolotl gradually became less active and the more diverse sounds of Snow Crow became prominent. Ross Lama and Bev Rodrigues played on Photographs of Green Man and have persisted with Dan to become the three core founding members of Snow Crow. The current line-up includes our compatriots, Andy Sadler, Steve Campbell Lyssa Fassett, Bev Rodrigues, Dan Fassett and Tim Langevin. NEWS FLASH!!!!! Our new CD Transit Time has arrived!!!
