Simon Cropp is a flatpick guitarist and folk songwriter from Decorah, Iowa. His performance style is equal parts dive bar bravado and fireside introspection. His writing channels classic country themes of love, heartbreak, and landscape - winking at cliche without bending to it - to deliver a sound that is as comfortable on a front porch as it is on a festival stage.
