Cat

About Me





Ob Pop, Folk, Blues,Latin oder Country, Cats Begeisterung für Ihre Lieblingslieder ist deutlich zu hören. Die gebürtige New Yorkerin mit südamerikanischen Wurzeln fasst gekonnt das Wesentliche der mit Sorgfalt ausgesuchten Songs zusammen. Mit ihrer souligen Stimme und ihre akustische Gitarre interpretiert sie Lieder überwiegend aus Nord- und Lateinamerika in Englisch und Spanisch. Cat wird von dem Amerikaner, Dave Stephens, einen vielfältigen Musiker und ausgebildeten Schlagzeuger(Berklee College of Music) an Bass, Gitarre, Perkussion und Gesang unterstützt. Die ungekünstelte Performance passt zur sparsamen Instrumentierung und schafft eine sympathische Atmosphäre. Und da ihr nicht soviel gefällt wie sie spielen möchte, ergänzt sie Ihr Programm mit gelungenen Eigenkompositionen.......................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .........................I was born and raised in NYC. My parents are from Ecuador, and I was lucky enough to grow up with South and North American cultural influences. I came to Germany in Dec 1987, thanks to Uncle Sam, and have been here ever since. I play basically whatever I feel like, English and Spanish covers and my own songs, all raw and unedited, all with my acoustic guitar, a magical instrument hand-crafted by Christian Stoll. Got a very talented young American drummer, from Berklee College of Music, Dave Stephens, helping me out at the moment. I'm also excited about a new project with Spanish songs, with Jorge Galbassini on the guitar. The sky is the limit! Check out more videos at www.youtube/leadcat
