Let's Misbehave - The Songs of Cole Porter presented by Cathrine Summers

Together with her quartet Cathrine Summers presents ‘Let’s Misbehave - The songs of Cole Porter’, a unique lively sophisticated collection of songs from arguably, the greatest American lyricist and composer in one – Cole Porter. Enjoy classics such as I Get A Kick Out of You, , I’ve Got You Under My Skin, Night and Day, De-Lovely, Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love, What Is This Thing Called Love and many many more.

After a slow start to his career, Cole Porter began to achieve success in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for Broadway musicals. Porter’s output of over 2000 songs is an amazing quantity to achieve in a lifetime and Summers respectfully and intelligently presents some of these toe-tapping favourites intertwined with tid bits of Porters conflicted, slightly risqué, acclaimed life.

Cathrine’s ongoing passion to bring Jazz music to audiences in a fun, engaging way across WA sees her performing her shows in places where previously people wouldn’t have had access to live music in this kind of a jazz lounge club sophisticated setting.

“The quality that sets her apart from other singers is not only her unique voice, it’s that people of all ages feel ‘instantly familiar’ with her and soak up her banter and on-stage charisma.” - The Music Review.

“We talked about Cathrine Summers Off-air and both felt the same way about her talent. Apart from accurate pitch and nicely controlled vibrato, she has the style and maturity to carry of the Great American Songbook compositions – just like her US idols.” – Ann Bolton and Ken Turnbull, Jazz Life Main FM 94.9 Victoria
