Welcome to the official website for

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.

Ric Hollister: guitar and vocals      Erin MacCawley: vocals

John Sandbo: drums                       Maria Meade:  bass

We premiered our new all-tube P.A. system at the legendary Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa at the 2008 Fifties in February weekend - the sound was phenomenal and we will be using it from this day forward. Come to our shows to enjoy sound at its best! See our schedule page for upcoming show dates!
