Cat Wells Bio

Cat Wells is a Canadian Blues artist, vocalist, song writer with ballsy vocals and expressive stage presence. Her voice has been compared to Susan Tedeschi, Beth Hart and Janis Joplin.  Cat’s fondness of syncopation pulls her toward funky blues stylings.  Cat’s early mentors were Billie Holiday and Etta James.  She has been honoured as Vocalist of the year twice by the Okanagan Arts Council and has been featured in Okanagan Life Magazine and Wild Life Magazine.  Cat and her band have performed at numerous Blues Festivals including "White Rock Blues Festival"-Whiterock BC, “Rendezvous Blues Festival”-Oroville Washington and "Beachs Blues Festival"-Toronto Ont to name a few and they were recently invited to Memphis to perform at the Women in Blues Showcase.  Some of Cat’s career highlights include support for Jeff Healey, Harpdog Brown and ZZ Top amongst many others. Cat has released 2 CDs’ “Cathy-Ann Wells Live with the Bowman Trio”, “Bootleg Blues” and December 16, 2025 released "Brand New Shoes” featuring artists Jason Buie, Johnny Ferreira (Colin James band) and the late Sonny Rhodes.  The latest release is now receiving airplay on over 70 radio stations. The band is currently working on their next release.
