Katankin – Show #265 (part 2), 22 January 2023

Music

Making her second visit to Miss Chatelaine is Melbourne singer-songwriter Katankin (Helen Catanchin) – an artist whom Katie rates highly and thinks more people should know about! She and Katie chat about Katankin’s musical background and how she moved from singing jazz to writing and performing her own songs; the difficulties local independent artists face in trying to achieve public recognition; and her beautiful debut EP, The Quiet Shimmer of the World. Katie also pays tribute to the late Renée Geyer, and plays a fabulous new version of Dolly Parton’s classic song ‘9 to 5’ as well as Miley Cyrus’s current smash ‘Flowers’. Here is the playlist:

• 9 to 5 – Dolly Parton & Kelly Clarkson
• Flowers – Miley Cyrus
• It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World – Renée Geyer
• Hey Little Spider – Katankin
• Panning for Gold (live in the studio) – Katankin
• Live with Me – Massive Attack
• Bluebird – Katankin
• This Train – Bunny Wailer

Visit Katankin’s official website and follow her on Facebook and Instagram. And buy her music at Bandcamp!
