About
There are singers who perform standards, and others who inhabit them. Hetty Kate belongs to the second category.
In nearly two decades and eleven albums, the Anglo-Australian singer has performed in clubs and festivals in 28 countries and has sung with symphony orchestras in Australia, Asia, and Europe.
New York critic Will Friedwald hails her as "one of the best swing singers on the current scene." Based in Paris since 2017, she offers a program of classics and curiosities: beloved songs alongside pearls that are too rarely sung, from Cole Porter to Dave Brubeck, carried by a natural swing and real warmth.
Her concerts leave a feeling of shared joy that lingers long after the last note.
