About Me

CC the Cat and her rockin reggae funk trio are a party-shakin’ conscious groove machine pumping out deep dark thumping acoustic rock tunes, uplifting reggae anthems and pop-catchy funk/soul journeys, featuring the astounding vocals of dub diva CC the Cat.
After years of touring hard around Australia, playing hundreds of live gigs from the East Coast to the West, CC the Cat have released their first single 'Nicotine' with rave reviews and 7 packed-out shows up the East Coast this August.
Since its release in late July this year, 'Nicotine' has already had weekly rotation on Triple J’s Roots & All, hit number 6 on Brisbane’s 4ZzZfm playlist, reached numbers 2,3 and 5 on Triple J Unearthed’s Roots Charts, and been made a feature album by e-music conglomerate Musicadium.
With roots in Brisbane, Melbourne and London, and now based on the Gold Coast QLD and Lennox Head NSW (just south of Byron Bay), CC the Cat trio have 35 years of touring experience between them and members have shared stages with the likes of the Cat Empire, Blue King Brown, the Grates, Fat Boy Slim, Lionel Ritchie and R.E.M.
With CC ripping it up on vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, mad-slappin’ groove child Tracy Stephens on bass and beats explosion Guy Anderton on drums, CC the Cat are becoming renowned for their high-energy live shows which have had full-houses rockin from Byron Bay to Brisbane on a regular basis.
CC the Cat is independent and currently looking for management.
