Cat Ridgeway is a skilled singer/songwriter from Orlando, FL known for her soulful vocals, high energy, and magnetic stage presence.

Cat has also played many notable stages (30A, Okeechobee, Big Orange, Third Street Songwriters Festival, House of Blues Orlando), sharing bills with acts such as Arcade Fire, Leon Bridges, Brandi Carlile, and Jason Isbell.
