Wayne Adams Annie Wilkinson Gilles Zolty |
Zolty Cracker, was a Canadian band formed in 1989 based out of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The band members were Gilles Zolty (lead vocals, guitar), Annie Wilkinson (bass, accordion, vocals, cello) and Wayne Adams (drums, percussion, harmonica, vocals).
History
Zolty Cracker toured Canada, the United States and Europe from 1989 to 1997, playing what has been described by The Province as an "eccentric punk-folk hybrid",[1] although their mix of styles includes punk, rock, thrash, funk, world beat, acoustic folk and traditional waltz.[2]
Their 1995 album Go Please Stay was financed on their own. The music video "Driver" was played in rotation on MuchMusic.[3]
Others who adding their musical prowess to the band were Michael Louw, Michael Venart, Jatinder Sandhu, Lara Kowalsky, Clint Rice, Jimmy Goodrich, Pierre Lumoncel, Marcel Hildebrand and Eric Napier.
