Now in the 11th year of performing, the Grass Cats present a show which appeals to bluegrass fans as well as people that may be hearing the music for the first time. As one reviewer noted, “The Grass Cats put a wide range of material into a bluegrass frame, providing a perfect intro to bluegrass to the uninitiated listener.” Still there is a lot of lively foot-stomping fiddle and banjo music, bluegrass classics, tight vocal harmonies,
a cappella gospel quartets, chart-topping original music and plenty of down home humor.
Though careful never to lose their traditional bluegrass footing, the Cats also perform cleverly arranged "covers" of songs from artists as diverse as Eric Clapton, Duke
Ellington and Johnny Cash.
With a total of six CD's, their recording career has also been highly acclaimed with three of their CD's landing in the Top Ten on Bluegrass Unlimited's National Bluegrass Survey. Their 2002 release, "The Blues Are Back In Town," received a highlight review in Bluegrass Unlimited magazine and garnered the CATS a #1 single, "Bluegrass Man." The CD was also named to County Sales' Top Five Traditional Bluegrass Recording list for 2002.
