Harry James Angus has made the difficult decision to leave his full time gig to concentrate on his own solo career after a jam-packed 20 something years wowing festival audiences the world over.

His solo work takes the raw intensity, chaos and exploratory power that has helped make The Cat Empire such an incandescent live experience, but redirects it towards a darker, more weirdly beautiful universe. A universe inspired by artists like Nina Simone, Van Morrison, Antony & The Johnsons and John Coltrane.

After recent appearances this year at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival and Caloundra Festival, Harry will be showcasing his new groove-based collection of songs which will be ready for release in 2023.
