Top Shelf

The distinct, high-energy blues harmonica of Dale "Catman" Ballard has been a part of the Michiana music scene since 1992. Drawing from Texas and Chicago influences, the band is sure to get listeners off their seats and on their feet. Catman & The-All Niters have two CD recordings under their belt so far, with a third to come out on Beezwax in the near future.

Joining Catman Ballard most recently are Rob Hutt (guitar and vocal), Steve Behr (bass and vocal), and Boris Larue (drums and vocal) - all three blending into the comprehensive grit and groove that make for a high energy, get-on-your-feet blues sound. Haven't heard them yet? Just wait till you show up for a show!
