About Me

Cricket is a three-piece power trio hailing from Louisville, Kentucky. Since forming in 1994, the band has gone thru a complete metamorphosis: no one in the band at that time is in the band now, because of reasons as varied as drug and alcohol abuse, to marriage, to drifting friendships. The evolution of the band is a reflection of modern life. All things are born, created and returned to the great unknown, enjoy it while it lasts. The foundation of the band has always revolved around the Fields brothers, all of which are in the band or have at one time been a member. It is their craziness and musical ability which has brought you to this page, whether you know it or not. Currently the band is comprised of Ben Fields, Jeremy Winkie, and Matt Texter. All three have a solid connection to each other that goes beyond the normal.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
