The Story
Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene is now infamous for their no-holds-barred, pedal-to-the-metal live shows — and their reputation has landed them on some of the best stages, shows, and festivals throughout the US. From playing sweaty, sold-out clubs as a headliner, to the coveted support slot for Brian Setzer’s sold-out June 2017 Rockabilly Riot show at the Arvada Center, to sharing the main stage at the Bohemian Nights New West Fest with The Steve Miller Band, the band is wowing audiences everywhere.
The Crime Scene is the “secret weapon” for every kind of festival or show. The band has elements of rockabilly, blues, classic rock, and soul — and has won over huge crowds of all genres and age groups. Their high-energy stage presence exudes fun, positivity, and always gets everyone dancing.
2019 was a landmark year: the release of their acclaimed album “City of Love” landed them at #1 on the national Roots Rock charts and earned the band five awards at the Colorado Blues Society Member’s Choice Awards — including Band of the Year, Best Female Vocalist, and Best Local Recording.
The band’s catalog spans multiple releases including the “Let’s Do This Thing” full-length and the “Bad Magic Baby” EP, each showcasing Kerry’s powerhouse vocals and the tight, road-hardened grooves of the Crime Scene.
Since 2024, Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene have been based in Lisbon, Portugal — trading the Rocky Mountains for the Atlantic coast while keeping the same no-holds-barred spirit that made them a Colorado institution.
