The music of Katie Cash harkens to a time when rock n roll inspired revolution. In the manner of legends, she handles her guitar with an unparalleled command, embodying the music with every fiber or her being — hair flung as staccato punctuations to the heart she wears on her sleeve. She owns her vocal delivery, swinging you between high & low in an array of lustful richness and provocative rhythms. Perhaps most known for her well-loved band and brainchild Dolorata, she currently shares lead vocal and guitar duties in Oakland based bands Year of the Fist, & Skip the Needle, gliding between punk rock and rock n soul with graceful authenticity her fans have come to love.
These boys been in jail, kicked out the dive bars and road houses. They’ve rode the rails, and the great American Highways. They’ve sang the dirty songs, and have told the filthy tales. Just four harmonizing shit kickers at your local bar, singing their and your worries away. Purveyors of the Sacramento Sound, and the sweet California Country Music. Dirtballs of the highest order.
