ST LOUIS, MO. (www.stonecatband.com) - Stone Cat's Debut Single, " Happy" is released. Future live shows include October 9th in Stanton, MO (FreedomFest) and October 30th in Nashville, TN (Caffeine) see www.stonecatband.com for more details. With a voice reminiscent of such vocal heavyweights as Jessica Simpson, Gwen Stefani, Jewel, and Janis Joplin, 24 year old Niki Henzl is a vocalist out of the top drawer. Her voice draws you in with its beauty and versatility and refuses to let you go until the song is over ... but even then you still want more. Many listeners have acknowledged Niki as an original, gifted vocalist among a very select few. Her power is immense and very captivating to say the least. A listen to their long-awaited debut CD single, 'Happy,' confirms this beyond any doubt. In a musical era overwhelmed by manufactured acts, self-reflective intellectual so-called rock bands and flesh-baring females, Stone Cat is a very welcome breath of fresh air. The other part of Stone Cat, Mark Johnson, is responsible for writing the music, most of the lyrics, production, playing the guitar and singing back-up vocals. His incredible music ability is on display throughout the entire CD with particular highlights being his big guitar on the acoustic version of 'Happy,' and his overall musical production of the CD. Don't forget the driving force propelling the rhythm section of Stone Cat, bassist Jeff Seymore and drummer Chad Dalton form a very powerful combination. Both demonstrate professional musicianship along with a spark of energy that inspires Stone Cat's charismatic, uplifting musical style. The excellent debut single not only demonstrates the song-writing and musical ability of an exceptional team, in the process it files the flag for independent music in the mid-west and proves that if you put your mind to something - anything is possible. This is a CD worthy of being in any collection. www.stonecatband.com additional band biography.
