Crooks & Straights

Crooks & Straights are a country group from Rijeka, Croatia. They are a six-piece line-up whose members are Robert Bradičić (electric guitar and vocals), Ana Horvat (vocals), Damir Matković (piano and vocals), Joško Serdarević (drums), Mladen Srića (bass guitar and vocals) and Nataša Veljak (fiddle). The musical genre that they play is best described as a combination of new traditional honky-tonk and western swing. Their overall sound is to a large extent defined by short, but frequent instrumental solos which often follow each other in quick succession. Owing to remarkable skills of most “Crooks & Straights” musicians, this has gradually grown to be recognised as the band's trademark.
