Karrie's Squirrel Nut Zippers Page:
It all started when Jim and Katharine met somewhere in the Chapel Hill area.. The two had a shared love of art, and began making puppets together. Katharine's mother suggested the two of them getting together, and they eventually moved to Efland where they renovated a farm house. The two spent much of their time painting and listening to old jazz standards. Then during a potluck dinner, they invited some friends to come over and play music. This turned out to be the twist of fate that began the group's career. Katharine learned to play the banjo, and began to sing to herself in the car. The band started to practice together more, and eventually played some shows in the Carrboro area, as well as performing for social gatherings of the wealthy ...

The commercialization of alternative music in the '90s resulted in many strange one-hit wonders, but few were quite as unpredictable as the Squirrel Nut Zippers. During a time when hipsters were obsessed with swing music in its relation to Sinatra and Martin's Rat Pack, the Zippers were fascinated with big-band swing and Harlem, creating a tongue-in-cheek salute to '20s and '30s jazz. For younger listeners familiar with the style but not the content of classic hot jazz, the band was good fun, but purists found the group's vaguely campy sense of humor and amateurish technique off-putting. This debate would never have even been a matter of consideration if "Hell," an incessantly catchy single from their 1997 album Hot, hadn't been able to sneak through loosened alternative airplay to become a novelty hit ...

Squirel Nut Zippers: The Band:
Stuart Cole, Jim Mathus, Chris Phillips, Ken Mosher, Je Widenhouse, Tom Maxwell, and Katharine Whalen.
"When this band started it was just to get Katharine involved in a musical... lifestyle, I guess," Jimbo says. I ask him what he would have done if she hadn't been musically inclined. He hadn't considered it. "I sort of had her on the six-week crash course, How To Have Been A Musician All Your Life." Jimbo had in his possession a kind of family-heirloom banjo, and it so happened that Katharine had always admired the jazz banjo ...
