On Thursday 13th November, Welsh born, Sheffield raised Soul/Jazz artist Kat Eaton headlines Crookes Social Club in Sheffield.Kat has established herself as one of the hardest working and talented performers in her field. Having learnt her graft gigging in the grassroots venues of Sheffield such as The Boardwalk, The Greystones and Yellow Arch as a teenager, Kat has gone on to tour the UK/EU supporting the likes of Gregory Porter, Jools Holland, Paul Carrack, The Teskey Brothers, Marc Broussard and Mamas Gun, alongside selling out multiple headline shows in the UK and EU (Ronnie Scotts in London, Unterfhart Jazz Club in Munich, Jazz Club Etoile in Paris and Jassmine in Warsaw among others), she’s also co-written with the likes of Caro Emerald, Ruby Turner and Roberta Campos, and broken through to new territories via national radio play-listing in The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France and Italy.
On speaking about her upcoming hometown show Kat says, “We’ve been all over the shop this year and it’s been amazing but there’s nothing quite like playing a grassroots venue in your hometown. Growing up watching Frank White perform in pubs and clubs around Sheffield was an education I do not take for granted. He helped us get our first gigs at The Crown in Totley and The Boardwalk and had we not learnt our graft in those venues I doubt the live show would be what it is today. It’s a travesty that so many grass roots music venues like Dorothy Pax in Sheffield are closing. There were so many more opportunities to perform live when I was starting out compared to today, yet still the same amount of aspiring musicians. Luckily Crookes Social Club still stands and I’m proud to be working with Maurice and the team to support their beloved venue. They work incredibly hard to bring great live acts to the music lovers of Sheffield and I for one am eternally grateful.”
Newcastle based songwriting duo Smith & Liddle will be opening for Kat and the band on 13th November. Their music is a glimpse into the sounds of Laurel Canyon and echoes the ways in which musicians of the 60s & 70s started to change direction as the years progressed.
Doors open at 7pm and tickets are on sale NOW!
