 The Fat Cats originally formed in 1990. Original group members were Wes Horn (bass and vocals) from Dilworth, Minnesota and Steve Ingberg (drummer) from Fargo, North Dakota.
The Fat Cats started to shake things up around 1998 when they began getting air time with high profile artists such as ZZ Topp, REO Speedwagon, Little Feat, The Spinners and many other well known artists. Meanwhile during this time period, they went through a dozen drummers. A decision was made to slow things down a bit and stop touring when they became discouraged. That decision began a fire storm of interest in their music. It took on a life of its’ own. This interest brought The Fat Cats back to center stage and with the return of Steve Ingberg, their original drummer, they were once again a tight group, focused and ready to roll forward.
Band members include:
Douglas Newman - lead vocals/key’s/congas
Kerry Boyd -lead guitar/keyboards/vocals
Wes Horn -bass guitar
Steve Ingberg -trapp drums
Today, the band has a whole new fire in them and a new focus. They are veteran musicians with an undetermined amount of musical resources available to them. They are very happy in their current state and look forward to playing familiar along with new places all over the world.
The Fat Cats are playing to national and international audiences, appearing annually at Dragfest, Terrace Bay, Ontario, Canada, repeat engagements in San Pedro, Belize, Central America. They have also had offers to tour in Europe and the U.K. and at exclusive resorts in Mexico.
