Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce (SCB) is a high energy bouncing boogie blues band hailing from British Columbia. Sabrina’s voice is a ménage à trois between Etta James, Fae West and Doris Day writhing beneath black satin sheets. Add Mike Hilliard who is by far one of the most underrated yet insanely talented guitar players in Canada and you have something exciting and fresh. When attending a Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce performance, you laugh out loud, dance uncontrollably, sing along, loud and proud, and get lost in a series of unforgettable moments.

“Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce are a sizzling, scintillating, swinging, soulful band of seasoned pros who deliver a first-class show wherever they appear- original and fresh with a new twist to the blues and a dance beat that just won't quit. Their show is a guaranteed crowd pleaser and this gal can REALLY sing! Sabrina is a Canadian treasure in the making.”

"Sabrina has more energy than that bunny in the battery commercials. She also has class, style, sass and smarts. When she sings, the whole damn room lights up. I could be in love..."

“Sabrina can caress a ballad, shout a mean blues, and swing with the best of them. Sabrina's gift in using her exceptional voice includes the ability to make lyrics come alive. Hearing her is a beautiful experience.”
Barbara Barnes Sims, Sun Records, 1957—1960
Since variety is the spice of life, this act tours as a duo, trio, four piece, or eight piece - you decide :)
““Sabrina Weeks & Swing Cat Bounce is a little city band with a big city sound and I do mean BIG. These cats can stand up against any Swing-ing Boogie Blues band out there today and not only hold their own, but blow the competition away.”
”
John Vermilyea - The Blues Underground Network
““It’s music that’s full of life, vitality and fun. While the “bouncers” are excellent musicians, it’s Weeks who dominates with a voice that sounds like it was trained back in the 1940s and 1950 s. She just gets that boogie down right.”
”
Dale Bass, Reporter/Columnist - Kamloops This Week

““New in name but chock full of chops, Sabrina Weeks & Swing Cat Bounce is a hot young blues band with a jazzy, swingy feel that is irresistible. With an excellent debut CD, "Tales from Lenny's Diner," this is the best new live act I've heard in ages.”

““Vocalist/front person, Weeks is a formidable vocal presence whose style is rooted in a past era that was dominated by jazzy big band sounds. She brings a certain verve associated with the days of ballrooms and sequins and this energy is matched by the swing-centric blues-based Swing Cat Bounce.”
