Crooked Ways is a hard rock band from Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. The group became a four-piece in 2018 after several years of guitarist Nick Gorrie and vocalist Zack Esposito performing acoustic shows in the greater Lehigh Valley area. Due to Crooked Ways' rigorous work ethic and passion for writing original music, they began earning spots on local and national shows within months of coming together.

During their five-year history, the band has performed throughout northeastern US markets and venues, most notably in Pennsylvania at venues such as Penn’s Peak, the Sherman Theater, Reverb, and One Centre Square. They have also played festivals and larger-scale events, including Musikfest and the Electric City Music Conference.

 

The band has been featured on local media outlets such as 97.9X, The Weekender, iRockRadio, and NEPA Scene, along with nationally-reaching YouTube music review channels; playlists curated by Loudwire, Jesea Lee (SiriusXM, SPIN Magazine), and various record labels; and media companies such as Jomboy Media. In addition, the band was nominated for northeastern Pennsylvania’s “Best New Band” at the Steamtown Music Awards. Crooked Ways has garnered a fan-base that spans the northeast with a particular draw for live shows in Pennsylvania and the surrounding region.

​

Their discography is comprised of their debut full-length album, Time To Panic (King Studios, February 21, 2020) and their sophomore record, Totality (King Studios, October 15, 2021).

​

Currently, the band is finishing the writing process on their third record with dates scheduled to record throughout 2023.
