“(Hetty Kate) has a stage presence only matched by the clarity of her voice” - James Morrison AU
"Beautiful, enchanting. A big future ahead.." - Christian Bragg, Jazz FM UK

Based in Paris since 2017, British/Australian vocalist Hetty Kate came up in the vibrant Melbourne jazz scene where she was mentored by some of Australia's most treasured jazz musicians. Alongside her 'natural musicality', clear tone and impeccable timing you'll find it's her warmth and razor-sharp wit that truly sets her apart, artfully blending poise and humour with a great love for the audience and the music. A true raconteur, she's often described as being 'The Real Deal'.
Hetty has been touring internationally for almost two decades, gracing stages large and small from New Zealand to New York and Paris to Prague. She has toured and recorded with Australian jazz luminary James Morrison, performed with Rick Margitza and Peter Bernstein, as well as classical pianists Simon Tedeschi (AU) and Charl de Plessis (SA). She performed as Ava Gardner for an original musical written by Eric McCusker (Mondo Rock), was the featured vocalist in James Morrison's award winning symphonic concert 'The A to Z of Jazz', and played herself in Herve Hadmar's television series 'Romance' on France2.
This concert is part of Hetty's 2024 Australian Tour, and she's delighted to be returning to The Paris Cat, the first jazz club she ever performed in! Joining her for this intimate concert will be wonderful musicians, friends and long time collaborators Sam Lemann (guitar), Craig Fermanis (guitar) and Tamara Murphy (double bass).
Enjoy a masterful evening of classics and curiosities from Dameron to Brubeck and Porter to Kern; the American Songbook and beyond. Expect stories from the road, discussions about life abroad and no doubt a lot of fun. We look forward to seeing you.
