- BIO
- The Fat Cats
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.
The Fat Cat’s newest single, “To Be With You”, is off of their newest CD, “Rubbed”. This is representative of their live performances when the ladies always go up to rub the lead singers stomach. “It’s a feel good song – a happy song, outlining the days events in my mind from beginning to end.”
This CD is very diverse in the sense that their songs are so different from each other. They go from a pop style to a bluesy type song. The guitar playing is phenomenal and the vocals are perfect to the story that they are telling. The Fat Cats are a great group with a true eclectic library of songs and styles and an absolute pleasure to listen to!

"I’ve seen the Fat Cats mature into a wonderfully enjoyable group. They seemed to have acquired a trade mark groove of their own expressed in both their original and cover tunes alike. Each member masters the stage with a distinct and enjoyable personality of their own, but play as a very cohesive group with a common vision while still allowing each member to shine and showcase their own skills and musical prowess! I have had the pleasure to experience several performances while at our lake home in Minnesota and enjoyed not only their shows, but also watching them grow as a group. Everyday at work I see most of the new platinum groups and artists that perform on The Morning Show, and The Fat Cats need not take a back seat to any of them."

Kevin enjoyed The Fat Cats performance so much at Chippiwa Valley Rock Fest. He plugged the group during REO’s performance. "We got our break at a Rock Fest just like this, and there’s a band called The Fat Cats down in beer garden 4 that absolutely ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF!!!!! You have to go see them and buy their Cd ’Rub’. These guys drip Rock-n-Roll!"

"Absolutely my favorite band. I love them, my customers love them, my employees love them. Give them a crowd and you will see that crowd respond to their music and show unlike what I’ve seen from many groups. They are incredible!"

Where's OUR Voice? 1st part
In light of the recent economic issues, have you been wondering where your voice comes in? Have you considered where this country is going and how that will affect you? The following article contains some of my observations which you may or may not have considered before.
Bailouts. Now this isn't a partisan issue because if you remember, the Reps started bailing companies out in '08 to the tune of $750,000,000,000. I think that… Continue
