WHO: The Cracker Cats
WHERE: Underdog Music
WHEN: June 16/07
There is something so freakin' cool about the Cracker Cats. Maybe it's the fact that they unabashedly play bluegrass, cradle mandolins and banjoes and yet still rock out like all good bands should.
They have such an authentic quality about them - pulling up to Underdog slightly late in a beat up station wagon and then neglecting to plug the parking meter, asking an audience member to do it for them when the parking meter dude interrupts the performance to ticket them.
Their three-part harmonies can induce lumps in the throat and put a huge smile on your face. The audience ranged from 20-somethings to an old man on a bicycle who yelled at them to kick it up a notch. Like a far cooler version of the Dixie Chicks, the Cracker Cats kick ass.
