CASS EAGER
Cass Eager's music takes heed of Soul, Funk and Blues, and is solidly dished up with Roots and Rhythm. Her distinctive pipes and guitar playing have drawn comparisons to everyone from Bonnie Raitt to JoniMitchell, Nina Simone and Ben Harper . . . with a hint of Janis Joplin always thrown in. Despite these comparisons, 'soul sister Cass is no pale imitation' (NDL). With her trademark rhythmic acoustic guitar sound, husky-soaked vocals and effortless melodies, she's beendescribed as 'one of Sydney's most gifted singer-songwriters, whose
refreshingly honest, raspy, almost Joplin-esque like voice is hers alone,and whose eclectic songwriting will spellbind the listener.' (Drum Media). Cass is armed with an acoustic and lap steel guitar, electric ukulele and stompbox, and joining Cass is blues guitarist powerhouse
Jono Dallimore.
