WILDCATS WIN WORCESTER’S 2004 SOUND AWARD for BEST BLUES ACT!
TWO YEARS IN A ROW 2003, 2004

The Wildcats were voted Wormtown Sound Award winners in the Blues/Roots category in Worcester’s Best 2003 music poll. Nominations were given based on a number of criteria: placement on the WORC "Worcester Rocks" Top 40 of 2002, year-end surveys filled out for Wormtown.org, and a two-week nomination period at the start of February; the final list was fine-tuned through evaluations and last minute suggestions by Scott McLennan of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette and Charlene Arsenault and Noah Schaeffer of Worcester Magazine. Over 3000 people voted in the 2003 Wormtown Sound Awards; winners were announced as part of the Worcester Magazine "Best of" issue which hit the streets on Thursday, April 17. Awards will be presented on Sunday, May 4 at 5 p.m. at the Lucky Dog Music Hall as part of the Wormtown 25th Anniversary Celebration Weekend.

The Wildcats blues band, from Central Massachusetts, is known for their high-energy dance and jam blues with mostly original tunes in varied styles of blues and R & B, featuring jump, swing and rockin' blues meant for a spin on the dance floor.

"Fay & Jeff Adams and crew are inspirational. Playing a mix
of contemporary, classic and original blues and R & B hits, tonight the Wildcats showed us
the details both large and small that make them one of the best party and dance bands in this part of New England.
Blue Plate Music Review, May 2002
"High energy blues cats who play both authentic originals
and not so traditional covers. Soulful female vocals are backed by joyous
grooves, as displayed on 2001's "Live At Gilrein's" disk."
North-by-Northeast Band Guide, 2002

Here's a preview of
some the things they're saying about the new CD, "BY THE LIGHT OF DAY": "Their best work yet! This CD should bring the band to a new level and warrants serious attention. So crank it up, give a listen and allow yourself the pleasure of BY THE LIGHT OF DAY. — Holly Harris, WBOS, "Blues On Sunday" "I’m glad to see musicians who I like so much as people and players have come out of the studio with a gem. This is not one of those blues records where all the tracks sound alike. It’s an adventurous exploration of the many sides of blues and R & B that I strongly recommend." — James Montgomery "The Wildcats, known for their danceable tunes and catchy melodies, dive into uncharted waters with a bevy of pop-blues-and-rhythm originals that get better with every spin of the disc." — Art Simas, New England Blues Society |
