Hello! We're Bay Station aka, Kwame Copeland and Deborah Crooks, two long-time musician/songwriters who have combined our love of sailing and music to create a series of long and short-form videos we call Love the Bay. Each episode features an interview with and performance by a guest musician, band or writer aboard while under sail, or at the dock, on our folk boat Espresso on and around the Alameda/Oakland Estuary and greater San Francisco Bay.

During the pandemic we did two 'SIP the Bay Virtual Music Fests' fundraisers featuring dozens of Bay Area artists. In 2021, we resumed filming full episodes as well as our Love the Bay sailing tour around the Bay to catch up with local artists who've kept creating through the pandemic:

In 2021, we did another Love the Bay tour, sailing to ports of call around the San Francisco Bay, over-nighting at guest berths, and hosting 3-5 guest artists at each stop for onboard concerts and conversation. You can find our LTB '21 Tour recap here:

Now, we're rebooting the project, doing more tours around the Bay, and also hosting pop-up sessions.

Based in Alameda, California, we founded Bay Station Band in 2014 to record and perform our original Americana music. Bay Station has since released four CDs of original music, toured the country, received radio airplay and music placements and perform regularly with our full band throughout California. We're looking forward to finding every new ways of presenting our music and sailing adventures. Thank you for your support!
