Solo Show
In 2022 Crean developed a solo show that combines, new unreleased material with original live-looping covers and acoustic material from his debut album.
​
The solo show fuses gyspy jazz, tongue & cheek folk songs, spoken word and a virtuosic multi-instrumental performance to create a unique and intimate experience. You can browse through clips in the video above or watch the full sold out show that was live streamed at 'Drawing Room Chesham' here.

Crean also created a full band live show. The 'Songs to the Sea' Live show is a collage of spoken word, folk songs, heartfelt electronica and theatre. Using his multi-disciplinary talents as both a theatre-maker and songwriter, Crean paints a surreal picture of an isolated character in a seaside town, looking out to sea as the world collapses around him. Drawing on a range of influences from Kae Tempest, Complicite Theatre Company, Radiohead and Oliver Coates, Crean creates a unique and unpredictable show.
​
The band consists of some of London's best young musicians, including Drummer Luke Robinson, Guitarist/ Vocalist Rory Hancock and Saxophonist / Pianist Antonio Tarrizzo. It is being represented and developed with creative producer Anthony Kosky from Alchemist Arts Collective.
