The BoCats are a remarkably talented variety musical trio hailing from Jacksonville, Florida. Their goal is to provide top-notch musical entertainment at your party, function, event, nightclub or concert. Rick Grant, editor-in-chief and music critic of the Southeast Entertainer magazine, described the act as "a taut musical machine showcasing better-than-the-original covers and entertaining the late night crowd all over the Southeast.... This group cooks with a bodacious classy sound."
The BoCats truly enjoy making music and strive to make sure that their audiences have as much fun as they do themselves. Their eclectic playlist is drawn from over six decades of popular music history and includes 300+ songs from a wide range of genres such as classic rock, country and country rock, pop, 50's & 60's, disco, easy listening, R&B and beach bop. And, if you're interested, they may throw in a few of their own compositions. The group always tailors each performance to that audience's preference for style of music. In addition to their amazing versatility, they are known for excellent lead and harmony vocal work, as well as for their first rate instrumental proficiency.
Bobby McDowell is the band's guitarist and sings lead & harmony vocals.
Sondra Lacy is the keyboard player, plays left-hand keyboard bass and sings lead & harmony vocals. Gil Linares is the group's drummer and sings lead & harmony vocals.
All three band members are accomplished, well-seasoned musician/singer/songwriters whose performances reflect a wealth of experience from virtually every phase of the music business. They have successfully performed at venues which usually only feature larger acts.
From small nightclubs to concert stages, from country club receptions to raucous roadhouses, from backyard parties to ocean going cruise ships, from television appearances to studio session work; The BoCats have done it all -- and done it with skill, style and a sense of fun. Their unique talent and consistent professionalism have earned them the respect of their peers in the musical community and the acceptance of their audiences where ever they perform.
The BoCats are fully equipped with their own professional sound and lighting equipment. Or, for larger venues with in-house sound and lighting crews and systems, they will provide just the back line. If your event requires a larger group, they can add extra personnel, such as a saxophonist, percussionist, singers, etc.
The BoCats are available for booking at your next event, occasion, party, concert, function, prom, get-together, festival, reception, fund raiser, class reunion, grand ball, barbeque or just about any other excuse you might think of to have a good time.
