BEAT AND HOLLER
AVAILABLE INSTORE & ONLINE THROUGH MGM
JULY 9TH 2010

Mama Kin’s bittersweet melodies soar with stomping piano and swampy beats, all the while traversing the riotous, the raw and the intimate. Mama Kin is equal parts raconteur and soulstress: a sassy femme fatale who draws on her experiences of love, life and heartache.

Drawing inspiration from the songbird greats, Mama Kin’s music is powerful and gut-wrenchingly honest. Her debut album Beat and Holler features the single Tore My Heart Out, a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition and she is wooing audiences from Woodford Folk Festival to WOMADelaide and Byron Bay Bluesfest, not to mention sharing stages internationally with the likes of Ani di Franco, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu and The Cat Empire.
