Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, George Westerholm & The Wild Wildcats are one of North America’s top garage rock’n’roll-abilly and instrumental twang combos.

As well as George on guitar and vocals, the current lineup of The Wild Wildcats features Sean Sewell on guitar, Steve Fantaske on bass and Tim Foy on drums. Their fun, energetic and danceable sets consist mainly of original vocal and instrumental pieces. But they also occasionally include well-chosen and highly individual covers of favourites by Ian Dury, Devo, Shocking Blue, Charlie Rich, Ray Charles and others. For several years, they have been blowing off the roof at venues like Lee’s Palace, The Painted Lady and The Bovine. In addition to this, they have lit up the Upper Deck Marina concert series and Canadian Music Week events, and heated up the Grilled Cheese Challenge Festival!

George Westerholm & The Wild Wildcats’ latest release, Hot and Ready, is an exhilarating selection of original rompin’ rock’n’roll tunes and twangy instrumentals. It includes highly infectious rockabilly tracks such as “Poor You,” “All Messed Up” and “High Voltage.” If you act fast, you can still grab a copy of the vinyl LP!  The cut “Old Motel,” from the album, was picked by Double Crown Records for inclusion on the CD accompanying issue #27 of The Continental magazine.

Since then, the boys have recorded some exciting new titles. Check them out!
