"Solid Swingin’ grooves, crisp rootsy guitar…laced with vocals that move from being smooth and sweet as honey in one moment – and powerful, rich and smoky in the next,” In their debut album 'Elixir', Katt Beames & The SoulaR Sky showcase an eclectic and unique sound, drawing on such diverse styles within the roots realm and reflecting Katt’s own dynamic exploration and evolution as a songwriter.
After releasing her first EP early 2008 and touring solo throughout Europe and Canada, Katt Beames (23), currently based in Melbourne town, has spent the last 12 months studying jazz and recording her first full length studio album with her all new line-up featuring: renowned & talented musicians Anthony George (guitar), Grant Smith (bass), and Nic Doncon (drums).
Katt & members of the SoulaR Sky have featured live performances at national festivals such as Port Fairy Folk Festival, East Coast Blues & Roots Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Splendour in the Grass, Melbourne’s Sustainable living Festival & Festival of the Sea & The Ostara Festival and recently featured a number 1 song on the Triple J Unearthed Roots Charts.
Katt Beames & The SoulaR Sky resonate with a seductive raw energy, an energized stage presence, and a collection of beautifully crafted songs. This group will have you shakin’ your tail feather, absolutely captivated, and singing along all at once….
