biographical info
The Cracker Cats are three dynamic and entertaining young women from Saskatoon, who are making something new out of something old.
Together the Cracker Cats create a unique roots sound, encompassing elements of country, bluegrass, blues and folk with gypsy soul. From hard-hitting and fast-paced, to slow-winding and melodic, the space they create becomes a melting pot as the music drives and affects listeners. Their high-energy, rowdy and passionate performances are full of fire, with fingers flying and tight interwoven harmonies
These modern day gypsies provide a tasteful offering of traditional roots music, while proudly bringing a “Saskatchewanness” to the music they perform. Their musical talent, physical glow, and infectious energy will surely capture your hearts and keep you on your feet for a boot stompin’ good ol’ time.
"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
