The Cracker Cats are three dynamic and entertaining young women from Saskatoon,
whose musical talent, physical glow, and infectious energy will surely capture your hearts. Described as gypsy roots revolutionists, their high-energy, rowdy and passionate performances are full of fire. With fingers flying and tight interwoven harmonies, their music drives and affects listeners.
They have released two Albums;
Empty Bottles N' Broken Hearts (2004) and Livin' on the Run (2005)
These albums successfully charted at 28 on national campus and community radio, have received CBC features and support, are featured on three Saskatchewan compilations and one national, while selling nearly 10,000 copies to fans from Spain, the UK, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Canada and the US.
"Taking darkgrass to a surprisingly new level with jaw-dropping hints of everything from R&B soul and the slightest hint of urban/hip hop zing to standard rock'n'roll to sprinkles of country gospel and hefty helpings of gypsy-grass, the Cracker Cats embody everything that associates itself with sly, mischievous, naughty, dark and creeped out jangle string bandy joy." - CD Baby, August 8, 2006 reviewing “Livin’ on the Run”.
The Cracker Cats have toured extensively throughout Canada and Europe, playing key festivals such as the Regina Folk Festival, the South and North Country Fair, Edge of the World, Trout Forest Music Festival, Fred’s Eaglesmiths Picnic, Folk on the Rocks, the Smithers Midsummer, the Atlin Art’s, the Gateway and Eaglewood Folk Music Festivals.
They have shared the stages with the likes of The Good Brothers, The Sadies, Fred Eaglesmith, Willie P. Bennet, Sarah Harmer, T.O.F.U., C.R. Avery, Kent Mcallister, Nathan Rodgers, The D. Rangers, Romi Mayes, Eileen Laverty and Joel Fafard, Crooked Creek, Little Miss Higgins and the Deep Dark Woods.
This past year has seen them showcasing at Canadian Music Week, The Juno’s, The Saskatchewan Country Music Awards and Western Canadian Music Awards.
With a new album on the way and an endless quest for adventure, these modern day gypsies are sure to be seen entertaining on many more stages as they wander the world.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Hey gurls, I just wanted to invite you to come and connect with new fans, bands, musicians, entertainers, film makers, models and more on the Collateral Jammage Social Media Sharing and Indie Promotions Network.
You have at least two fans in West Virginia. My wife sings the chorus of "Yer Sure Purdy" to our baby granddaughter. If you ever tour the east coast of the U.S., book a date at The Purple Fiddle in Thomas, WV. We will make the trip south to see you!
