Offering up a generous helping of the Swinging Bouncing Boogie Blues is what Sabrina Weeks & Swing Cat Bounce do. The show is dynamic; the players are exceptional; and the grooves drive until you’re swingin’, bouncin’ and getting’ your boogie on. The songs are light hearted with a twist of naughty, the melodies are infectious, and it is abundantly apparent when watching this group that they truly love what they are doing. Hailing originally from Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, this group collectively makes up over 100 years of musical expertise. The band members include Sabrina Weeks, Mike Hilliard, Ed Hilliard, Bill White, and Ken Sell.
In 2010, Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce released their debut CD “Tales from Lenny’s Diner.” The CD debuted at #1 in Canada, #12 globally on the Roots Music Report Blues Music charts, peaking at #6 on the global blues charts in March 2011. “Tales from Lenny’s Diner” has been rated in the top 100 new CDs released in 2010/2011 according to the Real Blues “Top of the Charts” report and voted as the #1 CD released for 2010 by CFBX and best new artist for 2010 by the Blues Underground. Also, Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce sits at #3 on the Siruis XM “Picks to Click” blues charts with their song “Bad Boys” being the most played song on BB Kings Bluesville for March 2011. Last, Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce has been nominated by BCIMA for the “Blues Album of the Year” Award.
Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce have received several awesome reviews. Peter ‘Blewzman” Lauro with Mary 4 Music says “Sabrina’s everywhere vocally...soft, sexy, sultry, powerful and commanding. This gal can sing.” John Vermilyea of the Blues Underground Network says, “Sabrina Weeks & Swing Cat Bounce is a little city band with a big city sound and I do mean BIG. These cats can stand up against any Swinging Boogie Blues band out there today and not only hold their own, but blow the competition away.” George Fish from Blues Blast magazine says “Sabrina Weeks & Swing Cat Bounce give a CD that is elegant, suave and sophisticated as it felicitously romps through jump blues/boogie, city blues, jazz, B.B. King-style bluesy swing, and comes to a delightful denouement with two tracks of contemporary soul and funk styling.
Currently their CD is getting airplay all over the world – from the Netherlands, Germany, Croatia and the UK to Australia, Argentina, and South Africa to the United States including Hawaii and Alaska and, of course, Canada. The CD is available through CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon, Zune, Nokia and eMusic.
