Prairie Cat

Cary Pratt is a multi-instrumentalist and innovative singer/songwriter based out of Vancouver. The man is made out of music, excellent and captivating music at that. His solo project- Prairie Cat features Pratt exclusively weaving a rich sonic landscape alongside witty lyrics delivered harmoniously. Prairie Cat originated in 2007 as a vehicle for studio recording and sound design. His music combines elements of 70’s AM pop and jazz. His sound is contemporary yet timeless, wildly catchy and bursting with authenticity. The infrequent dichotomy of humor and heartbreak is consistent throughout his material reminiscent of Randy Newman and Stephan Malkmus (Pavement). His three previous albums include the critically acclaimed Who Knows Where to Begin?, It Began/Ended with Sparks, Attacks! and the EP Got Nothin’, Each album offers a different tone paired well with the refined instrumentation and intuitive production. Who Knows Where to Begin? received heavy rotation on CBC, BBC, and Sirius XM. His fourth record Is Cary Pratt will be released in June 2017. – Maddy Christall
