	A band that can wangle an all-expenses-paid trip to the Middle East on the strength of a homemade demo apparently need no introduction. While the vocal acrobatics and simple, poetic lyrics are strongly reminiscent of Joni Mitchell’s Blue (the breath-taking After the Party wouldn’t be at all out of place as the eleventh track), the music itself is not so easily categorised. From the bluesy Better By Far with its sparse rhythm and uncharacteristically low vocals to the tribalesque and politically charged Aitken Drum, the songs are dominated by powerful, effortlessly controlled vocals and rich harmonies.
	With influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Fiona Apple, it’s hardly surprising that O’Halloran’s music is atypical, especially after the artistic input of the rest of the band (pianist and backing singer Claire Scott, bass and rhythm guitarist Mark Corrigan and drummer Dave McCormick) whose collective musical interests span virtually every genre. Four such natural talents rarely come together by accident, and this is just one of the exceptional features that has sparked the incipient success of the Catherine O’Halloran Band
