简介
Cat Lee & Co: Cat Lee & Co are an amazing quartet from Helsinki who mix up different music styles and create their own sound with such great ambition. We name our style "Jamgrass" as is sounds so convenient to us. Cat lee & Co as a band, doesn't follow idols or role models, but musicians who we keep deeply in our hearts are: Django Reinhardt, Sol Hoopii, Patsy Cline, Hurriganes, Bessie Smith, Hank Williams, Jimi Hendrix. These people carry/carried the same intensity that we have and believe in....and well, to be honest, they are all....just Fantastic! The Band: Stefanos Hirvonen: the absolute ideal of his life is in mixing together, Hawaiian hula and the gypsy swing style, along with the Fenno-Ugrian bluegrass-traditions. Earlier in his musical career he has played his divine Martin-guitar with Krazy Kats trio. He has played electric guitar with the bands: Blues Affection, Steady Rollin´& Ice Cream-groups; and also he has played baroque guitar with the Battalia Ensemble. Honey Aaltonen: has played earlier on in his musical career, the snare drum (with brushes) with Krazy Kats trio. However in Finland he's known best for swinging shuffle-playing with his drum-battery(set), with the bands Tortilla Flat and Teendreams. He has also played the washboard with the groups U-Bauyo and Downhome Boys. He's also a well-known accomplished writer, with his reviews published in Blues News and Rytmi-(Rhythm) Magazines and of course not forgetting his amazing, compelling Hurriganes biography. Miss Cat Lee: started her career as a singer at the age of six-year old: Every child from the 80´s in Finland has surely heard her unforgettable singing on “Pukemislaulu” (in English “putting your clothes on/getting dressed). Later on in her career she has been performing backing vocals to many bands and recordings. Her most popular and recognised band in Finland was the band Mascara, along with Sakke Wallenius. Miss Cat Lee sings jazz, blues, rock´n´roll, Irish folk and gospel music, all these influences are without doubt easily found within her music. She also plays tin whistle and flute, perhaps being the first lady in bluegrass history with these instruments. Miss Cat Lee has also gratuated from Helsinki PopJazz-concervatory in 2007. Timo Tuppurainen: has produced low frequencies from his noble double bass with dozens of Finnish top Jazz, and progressive groups, including the Lenni-Kalle Taipale trio, U-Street All Stars, Erja Lyytinen Band, Pipoka, Hemma Beast and Tekijä Tuntematon. He is an accomplished top musician with the electric bass-guitar. However, the history of music will always remember him as the first bass player in the world who played courageously ”four beats in a bar” – within the bluegrass world.
