Kat Healy
Glasgow
“There´s a fragility and vulnerability to her voice that brings with it this endearing wave of emotion that scoops you up and washes you away to a distant land of folk and romance... it´s femininity encapsulated.“ (Sophie Porter, Female Arts UK)
Kat Healy is a singer songwriter from Edinburgh UK and has been described as a combination of well-crafted songs, beautiful voice and delightful stage presence, with a striking ability to take an audience on a heartfelt journey with her music... “equal parts soulful, sweet and soothing...Kat mostly evokes thoughts of a raw Joni Mitchell or Bon Iver (Stu Lewis, The Tidal Wave of Indifference)
Kat has released a full length album ‘Be Still Gentle Kind’ (2012) and an EP ‘When You Are Gone’ (2014), both receiving excellent reviews and establishing her as distinctive song writer with style and a unique vocal ability - as striking as any of her female contemporaries - earning her a favourable reputation in the music scene as a notable folk/singer/songwriter.
Kat´s songs are filled with catchy hooks and phrases that stay with you long after you’ve stopped listening; mixing vulnerability with good humour, whilst still allowing her voice to stand out, they have the ability to touch even the hardest of hearts.
Previous notable performances: Passenger, The Staves, Rachel Sermanni, The Mastersons, Steve Poltz, Rose Cousins, Amy MacDonald, Maeve O´Boyle, Sharon Corr, Robyn Hitchcock, Colin Hay, Paper Aeroplanes, Sam Brookes, Nick Harper, John Power and JJ Gilmour (full details of previous shows can be provided upon request).
Kat’s presence abroad has also been well established with performances on prestigious stages such as the Berlin Pop Komm Festiva, The Ruby Sessions (Dublin) and the Sydney Songwriters Live concert.
