Featuring Sam Caine and Aaliyah Nitoto from genre-bending "bluevelvetgrass" string band Three Times Bad, this new spinoff group mines the rich history of the folk, bluegrass, blues, honkytonk, gospel, early jazz, and pre-"genre" Americana traditions. They bring a dynamic, contemporary approach to their wide-ranging repertoire of original and old-school tunes, channeling the communal music making of Carolina Chocolate Drops and the innovative/traditional song craft of Ben Hunter & Joe Seamons. In short, Critters aims to marry the way back with the way forward.

Krista Fatka is an Oakland-based comic and writer. With over a decade of performance experience in circus and theater, she’s as comfortable on stage as she is in a room full of clowns. Which is to say, pretty comfy. She produces a regular show at The San Francisco Punch Line called The Charm Offensive. She has performed at festivals in the Bay Area like SF Sketchfest, Outside Lands, and was a semi-finalist in the 2017 San Francisco International Comedy Competition. She won first place in The Sacramento Comedy Competition 2017.
Chelsea Bearce got her comedy start in Los Angeles and quickly headed to New York where she performed at over a dozen comedy clubs regularly including Gotham Comedy Club, New York Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club and Caroline's, where she performed along-side Darrell Hammond. She also studied at Upright Citizens Brigade in both their sketch program and improv program. Her blend of observational comedy and self-deprecation combined with her comfortability with talking to the audience and making them comfortable enough to make fun of themselves too, makes for a very enjoyable time had by all. Chelsea has written multiple parodies as well, including Curvy (which went viral) and is thrilled to be a part of this show!
