About Catherine Summers
A sell-out artist and a staple of WA’s music scene, Catherine Summers is renowned for her sultry, versatile voice, magnetic stage presence, and playful storytelling charm. Praised as a “beloved WA vocalist” (PerthNow), she brings a rare blend of elegance, authenticity, and energy to every stage.
With a repertoire spanning jazz standards, French chansons, soulful ballads, and jazz-infused modern pop, Catherine draws comparisons to Amy Winehouse, Diana Krall, and Nancy Wilson. She has dazzled audiences at top venues including The Ellington Jazz Club, Lyric’s Underground, and major gala events across WA. Her Fringe World seasons regularly sell out, and critics have described her as “pitch perfect”, “very sophisticated”, and “the real deal.”
For one night only, Catherine brings her signature warmth, wit, and world-class band to Cottesloe for “Sound System” vibe high energy feel with some great classics all in support of a vital cause.
