    Cat Power - YOU ARE FREE

    Monday 23rd June @ 10pm



    Cat Power's Chan (pronounced "Shawn") Marshall exists on a plane somewhat different than yours or mine, as anybody who has heard her sing knows._ Her voice is unlike anyone you've heard before, combining raw intimacy with a gruff, chalky confidence, and while any attempt to interpret her lyrics comes up short, their plain-spoken lines belie an otherworldly perspective on primal human emotions._ She's abstract, but always honest and true._ That awareness has caused a tidal wave of adulation for Chan from her giant fan base, one that has tripled with each new record released._ They'll go anywhere with her, trusting that it always leads to a familiar place that will never seem the same. Recorded by Adam Kasper (Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam).



    "An undoubted talent...her chocolaty, sublime vocals evoke betrayal, heartache, and renewal more poetically than clumsy words ever could" - Melody Maker



    Date: Monday 23rd June

    Doors: 10pm / Tickets: €10

    Booking: 021 – 427 00 22_ (Tickets in advance from the Cork Opera House)
