Mr. Cat, a “Purrfect” Cover Band

     Mr. Cat gets 'em on their feet at Ground Zero in Mebane

  Recently, Mr. Cat, a Raleigh based band played at Groundzero in Mebane.  Having never heard of or seen this band I wasn’t sure what to expect. Wow, they blew my expectations out of the water!

  Groundzero was less than crowded and this gave Mr. Cat the opportunity to utilize the entire bar for their performance and it was a performance!  They played on the stage, the dance floor and even on the bar.  They covered a variety of music genres that spanned at least four decades including; Heavy Metal, Southern Rock, Classic rock, Country, R & B, and some funky Disco.   After their first set I met bass guitarist and vocalist, Sammy Brooks, and got a few details on the band.   They have an impressive resume and I was surprised that I hadn’t heard of them prior to this performance.  They have opened for some major musical talents like 38 Special, Travis Tritt and Molly Hatchet to name a few.
  Seasoned professionals that know how to keep a crowd entertained is something that a lot of Cover Bands are lacking these days but Mr. Cat was on spot.  Mr. Cat kept the crowd entertained and on the dance floor throughout the evening. 

Mr. Cat

  I give them two “paws” up and hope to see them again in the near future.  If you missed this performance you will have another opportunity to see them on July 22^nd at Groundzero so mark your calendars now!

Until next time……
