The Caterwaulers

Austin, Texas musicians Lisa Perlet and Daniel Tessmer happened upon their soothing and soulful blend of vocal harmonies by chance, first performing together on the fly at an open mic night in Cedar Park at the end of 2020, covering songs by the likes of The Rolling Stones and Chris Stapleton. Each had picked up a guitar at age 13 and years later began performing solo or with other artists as part of the local music scene, so one might say their collaboration was a long time coming but not a moment too soon when they officially teamed up as a duo to form the Caterwaulers in the spring of 2021. Since then, they’ve performed throughout the great state of Texas at iconic venues including Gruene Hall, Poodie’s Hilltop Roadhouse, and Bend General Store, and were recently featured on KOOP 91.7 Radio’s the Singer and the Song. Together, they are planning the release of the first Caterwaulers EP in 2024. Their diverse repertoire is inclusive of singer-songwriter originals and a little bit of everything else from bluesy roots rock to country. They deliver it all with their own expressive spin that’s as fun to listen to as it is unique and memorable.
