Kat Eaton

The Welsh singer Kat Eaton performs on 24 October at Sala Villanos to present the songs of her third album, What Happens Now, as part of the Villanos del Jazz series and the new edition of JAZZMADRID, the International Jazz Festival of Madrid.

Born in Wales and raised in Sheffield, the artist has become one of the most solid stars of contemporary British soul and R&B. Her style, which conveys the warmth and raw emotion of references such as Amy Winehouse, Norah Jones and Aretha Franklin, has rested from the outset on a close professional friendship with the guitarist and producer Nick Atkinson, with whom she has shared a project since they were teenagers.

With two previous albums behind her, Kat Eaton has played stages across much of Europe, sharing bills and tours with prominent names such as Gregory Porter, Paul Carrack and The Teskey Brothers. Her recent release, What Happens Now, marks a step forward in her career through ten tracks that blend blues, jazz and pop with sincere lyrics about life, relationships and personal maturity. Standout songs among them include Break Free, Better Left Unsaid and the tribute to the spirit of Northern Soul in Kings & Queens.

For this concert in Madrid, Kat Eaton takes to the stage of Sala Villanos with a band seasoned in live performance that has already accompanied major artists on international tours. A perfect plan for those who want to discover live why her name is sounding louder and louder on the British scene.
