Crickets: Rock Band in New York

About Crickets

Crickets are a rock and roll group rooted in the late-1950s Buddy Holly lineup that helped codify the guitar-bass-drums format and the self-written band song as a standard. Their sound draws on rockabilly and doo-wop alongside early rock and roll structures. In New York City they appear at Union Pool for bills that pair the band with collaborators and guests, including JD Samson, Roddy Bottum, Michael O’Neill, and Tami Hart. The approach favors direct ensemble playing over studio gloss.
