Mama Kin Joins The Cat Empire On The Road

Article Image: 

Following a run of spectacular shows in Paris with Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu and The John Butler Trio in the UK - including a tour finale at London's prestigious Hammersmith Apollo - Mama Kin is pleased to announce that she will be supporting The Cat Empire on their forthcoming national tour.

Mama Kin has been confirmed to hit the road with The Cat Empire for their August and September dates, criss-crossing the country to play a string of shows in Australia's major venues. An ideal opportunity to celebrate the release of Beat and Holler, Mama Kin will be showcasing material from her debut album.

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!"

See Mama Kin in all her glory on tour with The Cat Empire in August and September 2010.
