Will Crewdson

Will Crewdson is a London-based guitarist/writer/producer best known for his work with the UK band Rachel Stamp, US singer Johnette Napolitano and Adam Ant.

Crewdson spent 10 years touring and recording with the rock band Rachel Stamp which, at one point, became the only unsigned band to sell out the London Astoria. They also played gigs with Iggy Pop, Korn, No Doubt, The Tubes and Cheap Trick, among others. They had several record deals, the biggest of which was with WEA.

After this period, Crewdson concentrated on writing and recording with Johnette Napolitano, the former singer with LA legends Concrete Blonde. The critically acclaimed Napolitano solo album Scarred was released on Hybrid Recordings in 2007. He also collaborated with the US director/writer Tom DiCillo as one half of The Black and Blue Orkestre.

In 2010, Crewdson played live, recorded and musically directed for Adam Ant's solo band. Gigs included a sell-out show at London's Scala. He also helped organize a tribute to the late Adam and the Ants guitarist, Matthew Ashman again at the London Scala on 21 November 2010. Crewdson played lead guitar on the night with the remaining members of Ashman's bands, Bow Wow Wow and Chiefs of Relief (featuring Paul Cook from Sex Pistols on drums and Billy Morrison on vocals) as well as performing another set with Adam Ant.
