Mama Kin hits the road with Cat Empire
3 August 2010
After stellar shows with Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu in Paris, and The John Butler Trio in the UK, Mama Kin hits the road through August and September with The Cat Empire to showcase her debut album, Beat and Holler.
Mama Kin is equal parts raconteur and soulstress: a sassy femme fatale who draws on her experiences of love, life and heartache. Her bittersweet melodies soar with stomping piano and swampy beats, traversing the riotous, the raw and the intimate.
Drawing inspiration from the songbird greats, Mama Kin's music is powerful and gut-wrenchingly honest. She opens her heart to reveal a strength and vulnerability that is at once arresting and inspiring.
Her debut album, Beat and Holler, is a combination of songs that she says ranges from "r-o-a-r to r-a-w". "I either want to be moved emotionally or moved physically by music," Mama Kin says. "If not both at the same time!"
