STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
“Filled with an echoing Southern sway and groove-infused melodies. The band deftly melds brash electric guitar, bursts of sax and bouts of country-rock movements into a cohesive musical point of view. As unique as it is infectious.” Kind words from The Southern Sounding about the funny music video for "Borrowed Repertoire" by Chris Welch & The Cicada Killers. New album Shook is out now from Goliad Media Group.
"Denton, Texas is the physical home of Chris Welch & The Cicada Killers, but their music hails from James Brown, Roy Orbison, Alex Chilton and The Replacements, a unique place of soul, shimmy, and shake," says Elmore Magazine. New album Shook" is out Feb. 22nd from Goliad Media Group.
Denton, Texas is the home of Chris Welch & The Cicada Killers, introduced as the “fabulous Cicada Killers” on “Cicada Sweat,” the James Brown-inspired opening track of Shook, the north Texas band’s upcoming sophomore album, which follows-up its 2017 debut Faded & Frayed.
The pronouncement is the only vocal on the song, an improvisational moment that the band loved and kept, but it’s all that’s needed: The Cicada Killers’ unique brand of soul, shimmy, and shake speaks for itself.
The comedic music video for the album track “Shoenapper” is already circulating. Shook by Chris Welch and The Cicada Killers arrives on Feb. 22nd, 2019 preceded by the single and music video “Borrowed Repertoire”.
