Cat Power



She’s an artist of minimalist style. She’s got a knack for dragging you in with her simple guitar playing and delicate, ghostly voice. Her music is a beautifully emotive experience.

Her stage name is Cat Power. She’s from Georgia where she grew up with a pianist and blues musician as a father. She often moved from place to place, living with either one of her divorced parents, or with her grandmother. She says it’s the reason she’s got a love for touring and performing, as well as prepared for it.

Cat Power, or Charlyn Marshall, dropped out of high school and began performing in clubs around Atlanta in her youth. Now she’s 36 and fans can’t get enough of her soothing voice and enticing musical skills. Some people make it by selling out. Some make it being them selves.

Cat Power is definitely herself.
