Offering up a generous helping of the Swinging Bouncing Boogie Blues is what Sabrina Weeks & Swing Cat Bounce was born to do. Once this band launches into their show, you can’t take you’re your eyes off them. The show is dynamic; the players are exceptional; and the grooves reverberate within your body until you’re swingin’, bouncin’ and getting’ your boogie on. This group represents a return to fun and humour. 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 are there for a good time and 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 overall) on the Roots Music Report Blues Music charts. Also, “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. Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce have received several awesome reviews. According the Peter ‘Blewzman” Lauro with Mary 4 Music “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.” Reporter/Columnist Dale Bass raves about the group: “its music that’s full of life, vitality and fun. While the “bouncers” are excellent musicians, it’s Weeks who dominates with a voice that sounds like it was trained back in the 1940s and 1950s. She just gets that boogie down right.” 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. Sabrina Weeks—Vocals—has been playing music professionally for over 20 years.
