Cath Rutten
Live

After many years training as a dancer Cath started her performance career as a singer/dancer in Cabaret shows in Japan. It was quickly apparent that singing and performance was where she wanted to be. After a stint as a circus artist Cath performed in many shows for the Melbourne Fringe and Comedy Festivals alongside her constant band work. She performed a lead role and as Director’s assistant in the national tour of Hair and upon her return to Melbourne sang in a variety of bands, performing in pubs and clubs as well as continuing her involvement in theatre work.

She has worked in Theatre in Education companies and produced children’s music and shows and continued to develop her skills as artistic director and musical director of youth theatre programs. Cath has had the great pleasure of being in the touring band for “Dirtgirl”, ABC TV’s beloved Eco Warrior for several years, playing some of Australia’s best known festivals including Lost Lands, Splendor in the Grass and Woodford Folk Festival.

Cath has just released an album under her own name which is available on Bandcamp (link below). Her band for this project includes Michael Allen and Greg Arnold from Things of Stone and Wood and the album has been produced by Cameron McKenzie (Mark Seymour and the Undertow and Horsehead).

She performs regularly with a variety of ensembles and is a regular at Port Fairy Folk Festival, hosting the Big Sunday Sing Out with Jimi Hocking.
