When listening to the Midnight Cattle Callers, you find yourself back in a time when AM radio is king. They have the ability to transport the listener to a different time. Since the 
Midnight Cattle Callers have come on the scene in late 2009, they have been carving out their own unique style of country music. It’s swingy, much like the 30’s/40’s big band era that they pull influences from. The vocals are sweet and juicy, yet with the distinct Telecaster growl behind them, it’s too twang not to be country.
The core-band; comprised of Dee Foster on guitar and lead vocals, Seth Sutton on upright bass, with Roger Brown on the electric twang-box and Luke Gitchel on the jazz box guitar, banjo and mandolin, rounding out the ensemble; epitomizes the sound that embraces a simpler time. Their warm country sounds are a tribute to the hardscrabble towns and the people scattered across the American landscape.
Their songs have the lyrical sensibilities of the wandering cowboy poets of yesterday, songs filled with heartache, pain, unrequited love all with the underlining hope and longing for something better. Dee Foster, the songbird for the Midnight Cattle Callers, pens the original material with Seth Sutton who, with help from the rest of the band, compliments her with rich harmonies.
With the release of their first studio album “Midnight Cattle Callers”, the group scored a home run, winning the G.L.A.M.A (the Great Lakes Acoustic Music Association) band competition, earning them a coveted slot and rave reviews at the 2011 Cooper’s Glen Music Festival, along side Grammy Award winner, Peter Rowen. A few months later the Midnight Cattle Callers received a 5 out of 5 star review and was chosen to be May 2011’s album of the month from “Country Music People magazine”.
