Short Bio:

 

A self-professed “Funkateer” Serita Crowley of Serita’s Black Rose from Grand Rapids, Michigan brings a raucous mix of FUNK, ROCK, BLUES, NEO-SOUL, and AMERICANA. Serita, along with her partner Jon Hayes are at it’s core, performing together for nearly two decades. As an acoustic duo, or full band, they play much of the timeless “feel good music” from the 60’s and 70’s along with their own original music. Their self titled EP release in 2012 has won several awards including WYCE's Jammie Award for "Best Short Form Album". The Acoustic Duo has been supporting act for the legendary Smokey Robinson of Motown, and Kansas. Serita's fiery, blues- and soul-infused vocals will surely reach your heart!!

Duo

 
 

It all began when…

We met at a local lunch spot in Eastown, Grand Rapids, MI. After exchanging numbers and playing a few sessions, we eventually moved in together and have been a couple ever since. Music is the heartbeat of what we share together!

The evolution began when…

After several different lineup of musicians over the years, we linked up with local Bass Player Robert Pace, originally from Muskegon, MI, who introduced us to Drummer Mark Weymouth from Grand Rapids, MI. We consider them a huge part of the Serita’s Black Rose Family who make up our full band!
