Martha DeWolfe - Lead Vocals
Born in Texas, Martha began her singing and songwriting career in Dallas. She traveled to California for professional vocal training by Marjorie Taylor, of Hollywood's House of Voice. The renowned opera singer stated her strong, uniquely gifted voice could compare to Tricia Yearwood.
Moving to Nashville at the suggestion of songwriter Radney Foster, Martha joined Nashville Songwriters Association International, seeking opportunities to play and write. Invited to perform at the legendary Bluebird Cafe, her favorite memory is of Mothers Day 2000, when her mother, Grace, was in the audience!
Her partnership with Stuart Watson led to great songs for her third CD, Mama Look, and an eventual move to California, to tour and perform in the San Francisco Bay area with the Wildcat Canyon Band.
Martha is excited about the release of Teal Blue Truck , which reflects her own musical passions and those
of every player in her band family, as each takes a turn on singing lead.

Stuart Watson - Guitar, Blues Harp and Keyboards
Bandleader Stuart Watson grew up in New Orleans and began his music career playing saxophone in an R&B band. He switched to guitar in college and began writing rock & roll, folk and country songs after moving to California. He recorded and performed with the Bay Area band Rising Tide, and has appeared with Martha at the Opryland Hotel and other Nashville venues, including the historic Bluebird Cafe.
Stuart wrote much of the material for the Mama Look CD and for The Wildcat Canyon Band debut CD Teal Blue Truck . His solo album on Maui Records will be released in late 2005.

Eric Hughes - Lead and Rhythm Guitar
As a sprout in Indiana, Eric learned folk music singing with his three older sisters as they listened to The Kingston Trio, The Brothers Four and The Chad Mitchell trio. In college, he spent way too much time at the Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festivals near Nashville, Indiana (yes, there really is another Nashville!).
He moved to Chicago and studied guitar at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music, got tired of the weather and moved to the San Francisco area in 1982.
He sings lead and harmony vocals and plays lead, slide and 12-string guitar. Eric is particularly fond of early Bob Dylan tunes and sings a stirring rendition of the song "Lay Lady Lay" on the Wildcat Canyon Band's new CD Teal Blue Truck. Eric was a member of Rising Tide with Stuart.

Dave Indigo - Percussion
Dave was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and grew up in Kentucky. He sought classical training as a percussionist and played with symphony orchestras early in life. Soon after graduation, Dave moved to Nashville to pursue a music career, spending a season touring with David Allen Coe, before moving to the warmer state of California in search of oppportunities to expand his musical repertoir.
Dave has appeared with a number of Bay Area bands, including the Kuntry Kays, the Del Mars, and Funky Nixons.
Dave learned their songs before joining the Wildcat Canyon Band, falling in love with her intoxicating, emotive voice before meeting Martha. Lead guitarist Eric Hughes toasted Martha and Dave after their wedding, thanking Martha for wrapping up a drummer for the band!
In demand for his exciting, precision drumming, Dave has earned his stripes in studios. His favorite project is the Wildcat Canyon Band CD,
Teal Blue Truck .
