Hailing from the grit and grime of Melbourne’s inner city, renowned songwriter Cat Canteri will be hitting Smith's Alternative on Sunday 15 July with her stellar band; The Hipster Proof Fence along with special guests Den Hanrahan and the Rum Runners. They'll be launching their new album ‘Inner North’, which sees Cat’s bold and reckless slide guitar style intermeshed with her poignant and poetic lyrics, reflecting the struggles and stories of her community, known as the Inner North.

Cat’s songs document real life situations and experiences – often with a brave, personal and candid honesty – framed, coloured and shaped by exquisite playing. Her sound recordings encapsulate the verve and passion she brings to her guitar playing and the soulful depth of emotion she can convey in her songs.
