Mama Kin announces One Movement Festival appearance and "Beat and Holler" National Tour

mama-kin

It has been a spectacular year for WA soulstress Mama Kin. What with the release of her debut album Beat and Holler, international dates with Gurrumul and the John Butler Trio, not to mention a rollicking nationwide tour with The Cat Empire, the femme fatale of foot-stomping, swampy soul, Mama Kin, is capping off 2010 with her very own national headline tour.

It may have taken Mama Kin some years to share her music, but from all accounts it has been worth the wait. Celebrated for her honesty, vulnerability and spunk, Mama Kin’s songs and stories have captured the hearts of fans across the country.

Her combination of honky tonk rhythms and stirring ballads have earned Mama Kin a reputation for live sets that are as rousing as they are intimate. As she invites audiences into her private world, Mama Kin is as tender as she is mischievous. 

Joined by her band mates, Brother Michael on keys and George Servanis on drums, Mama Kin is thrilled to finish the year with the BEAT AND HOLLER NATIONAL TOUR including a string of festivals, showcases and headline shows. To celebrate the tour, she is offering one lucky fan the chance to win a house concert with Mama Kin just by posting their own version of the album’s title track, Beat and Holler, online.
