MUSIC & MERCH ON BANDCAMP

The Dry County Crooks are a hard-hitting outlaw country rock band hailing from Portland, Oregon. Between 2001 and 2011, they tore up stages across the Pacific Northwest and beyond, dropping a raw live album and three blistering full-length studio records along the way.

After an eight-year hiatus, they stormed back in 2019, bringing their electrifying energy to new gigs and fresh songwriting sessions. In 2023, DCC cranked up the volume with their latest release, the fiery 5-song EP Life, Love, & Death, featuring standout tracks like “Sad Season” and the title anthem, both paired with dynamic music videos.

Now, as 2025 looms, the Crooks are locked, loaded, and ready to bring more new music and unforgettable live shows to fans old and new. This isn’t just a reunion—it’s a full-throttle revival. Get ready to ride with the Dry County Crooks!

The Dry County Crooks are:

Vinny D – acoustic guitar and lead vocals
Paul Becker – electric guitar
Craig Crockett – bass and backing vocals
Troy Stutzman – drums

The Dry County Crooks first album in 15 years marks a strong comeback. You really get the feeling that the band is made up of good friends having a good time creating music they care about.

The Drill Online Magazine

Great stuff!

Stephen Egerton

The Descendents/ALL

Yep, there’s definitely an Insurgent Country Twang weaving throughout all five of these powerhouse songs; but there’s an English Punk Rock versus 60’s R&B heartbeat too.

The Rocking Magpie

The band have clearly really re-connected and enjoyed the collaborative process, and this EP is set to be the start of a very exciting new chapter

Graham Bollands

Americana UK

Country that will scratch that itch for punk and country, while also serving as both educator and motivator, pushing you to similar sounds.
