The Crickets were the backing band from Texas in the United States, formed by singer/songwriter Buddy Holly in the 1950s.

Many believe that The Crickets chose their name while listening to a playback of "I'm Gonna Love You Too." A cricket was chirping in a garage that contained a speaker used for an echo effect, and could be heard at the end of the song. While this event did happen, and Holly's manager and owner of the studio decided to keep the chirping in the record, this is in no way tied to the origin of the band's name. In real life, they chose the name due to the similarity of the name of the current-popular band Bill Haley & His Comets, and they wanted a name that would sound catchy to the audience. It should be worth noting that they almost chose the name: The Beetles,[1] which John Lennon later named his band in homage to Holly and the Crickets.

The band personnel were drummer Jerry Allison, bassist Joe B. Mauldin, and rhythm guitarist Niki Sullivan. Sullivan dropped out within less than two years of touring and recording. He wasn't comfortable with the amount of traveling and to a lesser extent, he didn't fit in with Jerry and Joe. For the same reason, Jerry and Joe were not backing Holly after he moved to NYC. The big move was the real reason why the Crickets broke up, but Holly was not daunted by the breakup; he gained a new back-up band with Tommy Allsup and Waylon Jennings on the tour shortly after the Crickets folded ( Mauldin and Allison made an informal agreement with Buddy to keep the Crickets name, while Holly would now tour under his own name ). But after about 4 months, due to fans' mail and the band feeling nostalgic, a reunion was planned to start with all the original Crickets after Holly's winter tour through the northern mid-west was completed. It was on that tour that Holly was killed in a plane crash
