“Timeless, Tuneful and Terrific”  these words  capture the essence of Asheville’s Brit-Pop sensations The Cheeksters.  The oh-so-catchy melodies and infectious vibe at live shows makes The Cheeksters an act not to be missed.

Read on to hear what the critics have to say about The Cheeksters:

“The Cheeksters have the kind of back-story that should be turned into a screenplay.  American expatriate in London (Shannon) strikes up a conversation with a stranger on a train (Mark) sparks fly- they marry- form a band, and eventually land in Asheville, North Carolina.  And their latest record “Movers and Shakers” would be the perfect soundtrack to such a film --- I’m thinking 2003’s “Love, Actually here—10 bouncy pop songs that sound as if they should be blaring in a boisterous pub.”   --David Menconi –The News and Observer

...sounding like reanimated Zombies on their new Movers and Shakers, former Nashville songwriter-frontman Mark Casson and bassist-vocalist Shannon Hines Casson collapse their voluminous record collection into 10 unabashedly groovy songs whose sonic DNA tangles strands of R&B, glam, Britpop and bubblegum... Jim Ridley – Nashville Scene.

“Movers and Shakers” is The Cheeksters third record with Mickey-most like producer Brent Little.  Mark and Shannon met Brent while doing a stint in Nashville, Tennessee in the late 90’s. 

Brent’s all-analog studio (Cream Puff Records) brings the sounds of late 60’s early 70’s AM rock to Mark Casson’s gifted knack for perfect pop gems. 

The Cheeksters are touring in support of “Movers and Shakers” with their 5-piece band and continue to delight audiences with their unique and fun performances.
