Overview
Brazos began as the solo recording project of songwriter Martin Crane, who debuted the band late 2007 with the EPs ''Feeding Frenzy'' and ''A City Just as Tall''. Brazos, in its original incarnation, went on to open for Grizzly Bear, Shearwater, Vampire Weekend, The National, Iron & Wine, Wye Oak and Bowerbirds, as well as a national tour with local pals, White Denim.
