The Acoustikats are an acoustic rock band that Craig Bruesewitz and Jim Schmoldt formed. To help with the production of their album "Boogie of Not?" Craig and Jim had the good fortune to add two very talented Milwaukee rockers, Rami Espinoza (Guitar) and Paul Petted (Drums). The result was the first album Boogie or Not. Craig and Tommy Randazzo later hooked up to continue playing as the Acoustikats and did a CD Life is What You Make It. This album was Craig on all instruments and Tommy on drums and backing vocals.
I was born human, grew up in Milwaukee, liked to play music, met Gary Kitchin, started playing guitar and harmonica, and formed the South Side Jug Boys. After that I was with Stranger, had a duo with Julie Hagen, The Poodle Haters and The Harpoons. Jim Schmoldt and I did some duo gigs and formed the Acoustikats. Went in the studio and there you go.
