Cat Power

On October 25, 2026, Cat Power takes possession of the stage at Le Bikini in Ramonville Saint-Agne. Behind that name, Chan Marshall, a discreet yet essential figure of American indie, has been weaving since the 1990s a folk sound tinged with blues and soul, carried by a husky, magnetic voice. Her songs, often stripped back, oscillate between piano ballads and raw guitars, with a knack for letting the cracks come to the surface without underlining them, leaving room for silence and breath.

One thinks of Moon Pix and The Greatest for the grace of the melodies, and of her cover albums for her ability to reinvent without showmanship. Recently, Cat Power extended this thread with Cat Power Sings Dylan, recreating a mythic concert in her own way—proof of a taste for deeply inhabited reinterpretations as much as for her own compositions. Live, she seeks the essential: a quiet intensity, arrangements that shift with the moment, and an intimacy that gently draws attention. At Le Bikini, she is found in the format that suits her well, between soft tension and bursts of light, for a journey that looks straight into the songs.
