Catman & The All-Niters

Cat's out of the bag!

Based in Northern Indiana, and headed by ‘Catman’ Ballard on harmonica and vocals, this band has quickly become one of America’s hardest working blues bands. Catman originally formed the All-Niters in the spring of 1992, after having played in various bands for about 18 years. Some of the top blues artists he has had the opportunity to perform with include Pinetop Perkins, the late Gary Primich and his band, from Austin Texas, and The Eddie Shaw Band.
After a brief hiatus from the All-Niters, Catman came back to his musical roots in 2008.

Included in the All-Niter lineup are Steve Harris on lead guitar and vocals, Grammy Award winner Johnny B. Gayden on bass and Boris LaRue on drums. Each of the members has a wide and varied musical history, which adds to the personality of the band.
