Welcome to the official Web site of Jack Knife and the Sharps

aka JKATS -

the longest running rockabilly band in history! Established in 1833 by Ric Hollister, this band is older than dirt, more durable than hemp rope.

"Ya don't often see or hear the real deal anymore when it comes to music, but let me tell you follks...Jack Knife and the Sharps is somethin' else! The sound that comes out of this fine-tuned, little rockabilly aggregate will make you fight your own people...that's how good they are. And if that ain't enough, they got a gal singer that will curl your toes. Erin McCawley has pipes that will go right through you. What a combination....so turn off that damn TV, get out of the house, and go hear some great live music!" -Terry Stewart, President of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum
