Belly Up presents Cracker Genre: rock Ages 21+ Only Ticket Price: $25 advanced / $28 day of show / $44 reserved loft seating (available over the phone or in person at out box office) Cracker‘s tenth studio effort, the double-album entitled "Berkeley To Bakersfield," finds this uniquely American band traversing two different sides of the California landscape – the northern Bay area and further down-state in Bakersfield. Cracker has been described as a lot of things over the years: alt-rock, Americana, insurgent-country, and have even had the terms punk and classic-rock thrown at them. But more than anything Cracker are survivors. Cofounders Lowery and Hickman have been at it for almost a quarter of a century – amassing ten studio albums, multiple gold records, thousands of live performances, hit songs that are still in current radio rotation around the globe (“Low,” “Euro-Trash Girl,” “Get Off This” and “Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out With Me” to name just a few), and a worldwide fan base – that despite the major sea-changes within the music industry – continues to grow each year.
