Cracker

Cracker is an American rock band that punctuated the music scene with their distinct blend of rock, punk, grunge, and country influences, carving out a unique niche in the early 1990s. Formed in 1990 by singer David Lowery and guitarist Johnny Hickman, the band emerged from the ashes of Lowery’s previous group, Camper Van Beethoven, bringing with them a more straightforward rock sound that resonated with the evolving musical tastes of the era. Cracker's breakout success came with their 1993 album "Kerosene Hat," which featured hits like "Low" and "Euro-Trash Girl," propelling them into mainstream recognition.

Over the years, Cracker has exhibited remarkable versatility and adaptability, navigating the changing landscapes of the music industry while maintaining their recognizable sound. Albums like "The Golden Age" and "Gentleman's Blues" further established the band's reputation for insightful songwriting and memorable melodies, while projects such as "O Cracker Where Art Thou?" revealed their ability to blend genres and experiment with their sound. With "Berkeley To Bakersfield," Cracker explored the geographical and cultural dichotomies within California, a theme that reflects the band's own journey through America's music traditions. Despite the shifts in lineup and musical directions, Cracker has endured, continuing to deliver compelling music and live performances that captivate their dedicated fanbase and newcomers alike.
