Bio:

With a goal to bring back the "classics," The Soda Crackers - a five-piece band whose average age barely cracks the
30-something barrier - are in full swing. Make that - full Bakersfield Sound with a nice helping of Western Swing thrown in as a side dish of sorts. The Soda Crackers celebrate the unsung heroes of the Bakersfield Sound, the B-side gems that never get played, and the showmanship plus the instrumentation that all the greats brought to the smoky ol' beer joints &amp; dance halls from years gone by.

Vocals &amp; Fiddle - Zane Adamo
Stand Up Bass - Chuy Holguin
Fiddle - Cooper Adamo
Steel - Ben Mathiews
Guitar - Ben McCarthy
Drums - James Miller
