Scruffy The Cat

Scruffy The Cat was a roots rock/pop/cowpunk band from Boston, active from 1983 to 1990. They also played a few reunion shows in 2011, prior to the death of lead singer and guitarist Charlie Chesterman in 2013. At times credited as a forefather of the alt-country movement, the band's line-up consisted of Charlie Chesterman; Stephen Fredette; MacPaul Stanfield; Randall Lee Gibson IV; Stona Fitch; and Burns Stanfield. Their music was once described as "a combination of early Elvis Costello and the Attractions with a touch of Jason & the Scorchers’ tough country punk and the American jangle of the Byrds."
