“Foot-stomping, wise-cracking contemporary songs, a combination of rockabilly, jazz, blues, rock, and big band swing. Estrin is a world class musician…the most colorful and entertaining showman around.” – Forbes The musically fearless and wildly entertaining Alligator Records recording artist Rick Estrin & The Nightcats are among the most entertaining and colourful showmen around.
