Water Cat
Bio
Henry and Emma met on two separate occasions on two different continents. Henry spotted Emma while hiking in the Simien Mountains of Ethiopia in November 2017 and was too shy to say hello. Three months later he spotted her again at a hostel in Jaipur, India (not recognizing her) and that time worked up the courage to introduce himself. Eventually over a cup of ginger tea on a rooftop watching an enormous red sun set over the immense Rajastani city of Jaipur, Henry realized that he had seen Emma back in Ethiopia when she was traveling in a different group. Since then they have been inseparable, and have spent the past two years playing their fun loving style of sweet and stompy world music in the south of France and in the Alps. With Emma’s beautiful and effortless singing in French, English, Spanish, and Italian, and Henry’s multi-instrumental one man music machine, they make quite a pair.
Music
A mix of original, americana, folk, blues, and French/world music that can put one at ease, bring tears to the eye, or light a fire. A little bit Janis Joplin, a bit Edith Piaf, with a helping of The Devil Makes Three and many others, Water Cat can make either make your ears groove or your body move. We are perfect as an opening act, and can play small or large venues.
