Kat Wright & Brett Hughes, two of Vermont’s most beloved songbirds, get together once again this December for their annual holiday tour!
The show (a true Christmas gift!) featuring Tyler Bolles on upright bass and Will Seeders on a variety of instruments offers songs of holiday heartbreak & holiday cheer. It's bejeweled with storytelling, originals, and beloved classics alike. It’s guaranteed to warm your heart, pique your nostalgia and create a loving container for those good ol’ holiday blues that we all know so well.
If the holidays are an opportunity to journey within, Kat & Brett are your ideal, lighthearted guides. Look forward to soaring harmonies, intimate, tender moments, timeless songwriting & connective showmanship.
It’s easy to see how for almost a decade the Kat & Brett Holiday Fête has had audiences singing along, throwing their heads back in knowing laughter, and of course wiping away a sentimental tear or two.
ABOUT KAT WRIGHT
Kat Wright, whose voice is both sultry and dynamic, delicate yet powerful; gritty but highly emotive and nuanced, has been described as “a young Bonnie Raitt meets Amy Winehouse”. Add to that voice enough stage presence to tame lions, and the combination of feline femininity proves immediately enchanting. There’s soul flowing in and out of her rock ‘n’ roll with a serpentine seduction. Some of soul music’s sweet, grand dames belt, shout, seethe, and succumb, while Wright sings gently like a heartache’s apology. It’s funky in spots and beautiful all over. And it hurts a little … like it should.
ABOUT BRETT HUGHES
For ten whole years, Brett hosted “Honky-Tonk Tuesday” at Radio Bean in Burlington, for all fellow enthusiasts of the music to listen to and enjoy, while also playing live alongside other artists. The number of bands he has worked with over the years is staggering, including but not limited to the Chrome Cowboys, Belle Pines, Cider House Boys, viperHouse, Mike Gordon And Ramble Dove, Whiskey Likkers, The Decentz, Fortune Tellers, All Fall Down and a great many more.
Brett Hughes has been a mainstay in the Burlington music community for years now, long enough that it seems all of his introductions say “this man needs no introduction.” And a decade or so from now, I can still see that being that case.
