Katankin is the solo moniker of Melbourne singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer Helen Catanchin.

Helen’s uniquely warm tone – simultaneously earthy and incredibly pure – and a true bard’s ability to deftly expose the beating heart of every song, along with her poetic and poignant, cuts-to-the-bone songwriting, all put their unmistakable stamp on Katankin’s songs.

Hailed as a rural Australian Blues gem, GKJ has made audiences across the globe dance, stomp, and holler to the sound of his Delta inspired music. He is excited to be playing at The Drunken Poet to share his passion for this music that was originally fuelled by exposure to early solo players such as Blind Blake, Scrapper Blackwell, John Lee Hooker and Snooks Eaglin.

With a sound that ranges from dirty and dangerous to sweet and sexy and occasionally hilariously comical, GKJ is a captivating performer not to be missed.
