You may not know the name Crispin Cioe.
But you sure know his music. “Love Shack,” “Hot Hot Hot,” “Living in America” == he played on them. And much more.
Crispin is a saxophonist, songwriter, producer/arranger, and co-founder the Uptown Horns.
He has toured and recorded with the Rolling Stones, James Brown, Ray Charles, the B-52s, Robert Plant, Solomon Burke, Joe Cocker, Debbie Harry, Aretha Franklin — to name a few.
Crispin continues to perform live and on TV with friends like Darlene Love and Steven Van Zandt. The other day, we chatted on our local stage — the Westport Library — about his life in music, his ties to Westport, and lots more.
