Blending classic folk storytelling with a modern, unvarnished edge, her music finds beauty in the grit -drugs, drink, loss, and longing wrapped in sharp lyricism. Nostalgia and recklessness run through her words, a kind of everyday poetry that feels both deeply personal and universal. There’s comfort in her songs, but it’s the kind that comes with a cigarette at sunrise, not a warm hug.rnrnThis year, Catalana is planning to record songs like Dog’s Bed, My Mother’s Tupperware, and Drunk in Heaven—a mix of reflective and playful tracks that lean into her love of wordplay and tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Her songwriting often sits somewhere between sincere and slightly sideways, drawing on everyday moments with a bit of humour and a lot of honesty.rnrnHaving grown up on Worcester’s open mic scene, she’s recently been playing more gigs at venues in Malvern. The laid-back atmosphere and supportive crowds have made it a place where her folk-rooted music really feels at home.
