The Crones play energetic and exciting cover songs from your favorite female-fronted New Wave bands of the eighties. 

     The band is for everyone, not just your punk rock Gramma.

Lead singer Tracey Thomas (Unit 5) is joined by Linda Harrison Millar (Jupiter 2) on bass, Nancy  Peters (Velocity Stax) on drums, Mary Plazo (Drecking Crew) on guitar and Melissa Ulrich (Mysterious Luck) on keyboards.

     The Crones will rock your socks off, then they will make you cry with their moving ballad choices. Make no mistake, this is not just about getting to play some music on the weekends for this group of close friends and bandmates, it's about empowering women of a certain age to come out of the shadows. 

     Come out and help redefine what it means to be an aging female in the world of music. The band is hoping to change the mind set that only male musicians can be accepted on the stage after a certain age. Singing the praises, quite literally, of their fellow female rockers, the band gives a nod to Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders, The Go Go's, The Bangles and many more. These original women of the Punk New Wave scene are not about to go down without a fight, at least not in Akron Ohio.
