Krystal is a five piece rock band, all its members hail from Hoboken NJ and have been friends for over 30 years. Songs with deep emotion, meaningful lyrics, and diverse music styles spotlight frontman John Vincent Olsen's high vocal range.
Krystal, created quite a buzz around the state of New Jersey. The band hit the club circuit drawing record crowds. Focusing on their original music collectively as a band unit, Krystal has become a thriving force of pure rock and roll. Playing original clubs such as Kenny's Castaways in New York's Greenwich Village, Maxwells and Saints & Sinners in Hoboken NJ and the Jersey Shore's Stone Pony regulaly.
Krystal recently opened for John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band as well as Grammy winner Peter Frampton. Krystal also performs regularly at "The Arts & Music Festival" located in Hoboken, NJ where they shared the stage with Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees.
Bringing back a classic rock style in their original music that is purely timeless, Krystal has put together a riveting live music performance, bringing electricity and raw power to the stage. Krystal has released their first CD In April of 2008, self titled "Krystal". If you are looking to see an awesome live performance, come and see Krystal live.
In May of 2008, Krystal was featured via live broadcast on The Hawk Radio 105.7FM (Home of Classic Rock), at New Jersey's Premier Music Venue, The Stone Pony. The Hawk's broadcast reached thousands of listeners from Southern New Jersey to Eastern Pennsylvania, and the response to Krystal's performance was overwhelming, expanding their New Jersey Fan base into the Pennsylvania region. Krystal also donates their playing time to charity and fundraiser events. It is part of their acknowledgment of giving back to their fans, who have made their love of music and performing possible.
Now in the studio recording thier new CD, Krystal II / Elysian Park. The collection is a more roots rock sounding CD with songs targeted at their hometown of Hoboken, N.J.,with the title track "Elysian Park" referring to the famed Tenth and Hudson Street park as well as "Take Me Home". The CD includes songs that feature some great sax work by Jerry Mokar who has toured with many national acts. There's also a cover of Grand Funk's "I'm Your Captain - Closer To Home "
"There is always a story to be told, just share what you have lived", says John Vincent Olsen, the bands lead vocalist. Krystal has arrived and they are a force to be reckoned with.
