Jackson Felton

Small Crush formed when lead singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist Logan Hammon (age 17) felt that her band wasn’t giving her enough freedom to write her own songs. She took on lead guitarist Jackson Felton (age 15) and started a new project out of their garage. The duo, what was to become Small Crush, started making music inspired from Hammon’s voice memos (shared over group text) and titled from a self-professed “inability to crush on someone for a long time, so lots of little crushes.” Not long after its genesis, the band recruited a full rhythm section and started playing house shows, coffee shops, restaurants, basically any DIY space that would let them make noise. The group is multitalented, often switching instruments at practice, and the effect of Hammond’s virtuosic lyrical introversion over playful riffs evokes Frankie Cosmos and Waxahatchee. - San Francisco Public Library
