Music Stars Helping Rock & Roll Make A Comeback: John Grounds of The Desert Crows

by Yitzi Weiner | April 18, 2023

Sure not to disappoint the most ardent rock enthusiast, The Desert Crows have wing-jammed their way into the hearts of locals with their special blend of Classic Rock ’n’ Roll — striking a command chord as the go-to California desert fave and drawing record crowds to their live shows.

Rock & Roll has been extremely popular from the 50’s until the 2000’s. But with the rise of Hip Hop, Pop, and electronic dance music, it has seen mainstream decline. But some observers have cited that Rock & Roll may be on the verge of a comeback. The frustration and turmoil of the past few years align well with the message of angst, protest, and rebellion that rock & roll conveys. In this interview series called “Music Stars Helping Rock & Roll Make A Comeback” we are talking to music artists, music groups, and music producers who are helping Rock & Roll make a comeback.

As a part of this series I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing John Grounds, founder and lead guitarist of The Desert Crows.
