Loose Cattle- featuring Michael Cerveris & Kimberly Kaye at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater

LOOSE CATTLE is an Americana band based in New Orleans and New York. Formed in 2008 by Michael Cerveris and Kimberly Kaye, the band arose from the duo's shared affection for the musical and emotional rough and tumble of Johnny Cashs duets with June Carter Cash, crossed with Xs John Doe and Exene. Cerveris is a West Virginia native and two-time Tony Award and Grammy Award-winning actor (recently starring in Netflix's Mindhunter, Amazons The Tick, Foxs Gotham, and HBOs Mosaic) who served as a sideman for Hsker D frontman Bob Mould before launching his own music career. Kaye cut her teeth on the road, traveling the Warped Tour circuit as a member of a ska band before shifting her attention to roots music (with a recent detour directing and costarring in a wildly successful revival of Hedwig and the Angry Inch in New Orleans, garnering a Big Easy Award for her performance as Yitsak). Loose Cattle nods to their punky pasts and country roots while also showcasing their often-poignant punch as an alt-country band. According to Cerveris, Theres something about having a clear-eyed, borderline cynical eye on the world while dancing a country waltz with a big old heart on your sleeve that is the place where this band lives."
