Crooks & Straights, a country band from Rijeka, Croatia, were formed in October 1999. They consist of six members which are Robert Bradičić (electric guitar and vocals), Damir Matković (piano and vocals), Sandra Mladenić (pedal steel, acoustic guitar and vocals), Joško Serdarević (drums), Mladen Srića (bass guitar and vocals) and Nataša Veljak (fiddle). After a number of gigs both in Croatia and abroad, the band had their recording debut at the international scene, on “International Country Music Sampler” CD, in October 2002, released by “Comstock Records”, an independent label from Fountain Hills, Arizona, USA. That way, they became the first act from Croatia whose recorded material has been published, promoted and distributed by an American label. Crooks & Straights have achieved their greatest success so far at the 23rd European country music contest, “Picnic Country – Europa Contest”, which was held in Mrągowo, Poland, from July 23 to 25, 2004. In the competition of bands from all over Europe, they won the first place and thereby, officially or unofficially, carried the title of the best European country band for the 2004/05 season.
