The Krickets are a female Americana group from the gulf coast who's music is what Paste Magazine called "a truly stunning, one-of-a-kind sound." Two-time winner of a 2016 and 2019 Independent Music Award for Song of the Year in both Folk and Alt-Country categories, the band's music is a genre-bending Americana cocktail steeped in their signature folk harmony. Muscles Shaols producer Ben Tanner of Single Lock Records helped them find this sound on their 2016 debut Spanish Moss Sirens and Nashville's Sam Ashworth (Joy Williams, Lone Bellow), helped them dive further into it on their 2018 sophomore LP, Redbird. The band has spent the last two years touring in the southeast, including being official artists of 2018's SXSW, showcasing at 2020's Folk Alliance International Conference, and playing everywhere between corporate events for Garden and Gun's Magazine's to listening rooms like Eddie's Attic. Grateful to quarantine for forcing them to learn how to write and record remotely, their new single, These Games, is a true first for them, fully self-produced and will drop June 5th, 2020.
A portion of proceeds from every album sale benefits the Sacred heart Hospital Guild’s “Cricket Fund” in honor of Cricket Russell (namesake of the band) providing screenings to the uninsured in rural north Florida. The "K" was interchanged to give space to Buddy Holly's fabulous Crickets.
