Tom Rausch- Bass, Vocals- What can we say about Tommy....In the pocket !! "The Rausch Brothers Band was THE band around Sullivan County as long as I can remember", says Barn Cats rhythm guitarist, John Rocklin. Tommy also Played in many other exciting projects including 30 Year Rookie with Mike Ciliberto of The Blues Magoos and currently also plays & sings in the 12 pc. group, "The Funk Junkies". as well as The Mojo Gypsies.
John Rocklin- Guitar, Vocals- I came out of a Folk/ Country/ Americana background leading the band "The Crackers through many years and configurations, ( Always with Jan !!). I learned about music though in a real way from Little Sammy Davis who was just an incredible world class Blues Harmonica player and vocalist. Sammy's Bandleader, Fred "Midnight Slim" Scribner was my teacher on guitar although I was probably a terrible student. What started with me hanging around all the time turned into a passion that I could not live without. I love being part of the Barn Cats and what we have accomplished over the years. ( Funking it up since Jan. 2015)
