“emotive and powerful”
“The Krickets send chills down your spine and lift you sky high”
— No Depression
“...a truly stunning one-of-a-kind sound.”
The Krickets are a female Americana group from the gulf coast who's music is what Paste Magazine describes as "a truly stunning, one-of-a-kind sound." Fresh out of the studio, the band just finished a sophomore album entitled 'Redbird.' The title track, 'Redbird' was recently named the 2019 Alt Country Song of the Year at the Independent Music Awards. Produced by Grammy nominee Sam Ashworth and recorded at Brown Owl Studios in Nashville this album has everything from traditional country to folk rock steeped in harmony and an earthy instrumentation.
2016 IMA Folk Song of the Year winner for their single "Cool Cool Water," The Krickets are a female swamp-folk band that released their first album "Spanish Moss Sirens" in May of 2016. Produced by Ben Tanner of the Alabama Shakes and recorded in Muscle Shoals, the album debuted at #1 on Amazon's ‘Best Sellers’, ‘Movers and Shakers’ and ‘Modern Folk’ charts. They were also named the 2016 IMEA Folk Artist of the Year. The group originally came together to play a cancer benefit in honor of Cristina "Cricket" Russell. Now, they are able to support the cause by donating a portion of every album sale to The Cricket Fund and Beyond which provides women's health services to the uninsured.
Band members: Emily Stuckey (vocals, guitar, percussion), Lauren Spring (vocals, guitar, fiddle) , Rachel Grubb (vocals, bass, guitar)

What happens when the world turns upside down and a quarantine benches a band's tour? Something magical. They learn to write and record remotely, self-produce some music and then....release it - bells and whistles be damned. With new single, These Games, The Krickets offer a raw, Americana harmony bath with a retro feel meant to be sung at the top of one's lungs. It's a small part of a big message from a beloved musical community that nothing's gonna stop the music. New single, These Games, is a true first for them, fully self-produced and will drop June 5th, 2020.

Some happenings:
So, we were mind blown to win Alt Country Song of the Year at the 2019 Independent Music Awards for our title track, 'Redbird". What?!! We didn't go to NYC to go fetch it this time, but we still feel just as honored and it's made us look very fancy on our radio promos lately. This lead to a big jump back to #2 on the Folk/Bluegrass charts for the most downloaded album in all of radio land this month. We also landed our very first indie film song placement in a movie called Son of a Gun which you can watch here on Amazon Prime. And last but not least, The Krickets were featured in a documentary! The film was made to depict the differences female musicians face in a southern culture, but to us, it became the early story of our band. All the good, bad and ugly is there. We haven't been able to get through it yet without crying for the pain and joy of it all. It's terrifying to share something that up close and personal, but we believe in telling the truth, sooo... anyway, we will host a watch party on facebook for that soon so we can all experience the saga together.
Best ways to support us at the moment:
We can't adequately put into words how grateful we are to you for supporting our music. WE LOVE YOU AND CAN"T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!!
Your Krickets

?some news?
Hey Fam!
Lauren and Emily here and we have some news. We are excited to announce that Katrina and Amanda have finished their teaching degrees and will be starting their new journeys this year. We’re so happy for them and hope you guys join us in wishing them the best as they head down these new paths!? Don’t worry - take a deep breath - The Krickets are alive and well and have invited our very talented friend and fellow singer songwriter, Rachel Grubb to jam with us and bring that third harmony and bass guitar to the group. We’ve been practicing for a couple months now and we’re really getting excited about the sound. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 4 years since The Krickets began and we’re excited for this next chapter. Thanks so much for the support you’ve shown us through every chapter thus far. We love you and can’t wait to see you this fall! #KeepKalmAndKricketOn
