TONIGHT-We are excited to welcome Hundred Pound Housecat to our stage for a free show! These ladies are a rocking Colorado Blues, Soul, Rock n'Roll Duo!!!
2025 International Blues Challenge semi-finalists 100LB Housecat packs plenty of punch. Their sound is a foot-stomping mix of original blues and soulful Americana that feels like it is simultaneously from another time and perfect for this one.
Melly Frances’ vocals are incomparable. She sounds like a beautiful, eerie Bessie Smith 78 one minute, before letting out a ragged scream that would make Leon Russel blush, the next. She does all of this while holding down the rhythm with a mix of bass, washboard and stomp box. Keke Lee punctuates Housecat’s music with a mix of slide and piedmont blues guitar, reminiscent of Tampa Red, Memphis Minnie and Johnny Shines.
But rest assured, Hundred Pound Housecat is not content replicating music of the past. Their thoughtful and incisive original songs marshal their influences to offer a modern take on the foundations of American music and beyond.
