Saddlecats

The Saddle Cats is a Western Swing pocket orchestra comprised of hallowed veterans and fresh faces to the Western music scene. Their avowed purpose: to take the Western Swing tradition of Bob Wills, Milton Brown and Spade Cooley and bring it into the new century in a blazing mix of finesse, abandon and exuberant spirits. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay area, The Saddle Cats are founded on the suave, peerless steel guitar artistry of Bobby Black, a veteran of the 1970s Western Swing revival, whose membership in such bands as Asleep at the Wheel and Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen was decisive in bringing the sound of Western Swing to a new generation of listeners.
