Since their critically acclaimed 1975 debut, which Rolling Stone named “debut album of the year,” Crack The Sky has forged a remarkable 50-year career as one of America’s most original progressive rock bands. The band’s sonic identity, driven by the singular vision of songwriter John Palumbo, is a complex fusion of progressive rock intricacy, power-pop accessibility, hard-rock energy, and intellectually sharp lyrical themes. This unique sound distinguished them from their peers and quickly earned them a devoted following.
Throughout their history, they have shared stages with iconic acts such as Styx, Rush, and Frank Zappa, cementing their reputation as a formidable live act. Today, with a lineup that includes four of the five original members, Crack The Sky continues to be a vital force in music. They maintain a rigorous recording and touring schedule, performing for a loyal, multi-generational fanbase drawn to their exceptional musicianship and the timeless power of their extensive catalog.
