The Cat Lady will treat you to rock, folk, psychedelic and lyric-forward songs from across decades, that pull at your whiskers with nostalgia and depth. The old-timey cats may be coaxed gently into loving more “recent” evolutions and incantations of the Folk Rock era as The Cat Lady shares her love and personal connections with early Indie, 90’s Grunge, Anti-folk, Grrrl bands, Lo-fi, Post-punk, and singer-songwriters from the 90’s, oughts, and today. All of whom were influenced by the great rockers, lick-makers, and artists that preceded them. Sometimes you’ll hear guitar-heavy grinds, fuzz and buzz that curls your whiskers. Sometimes songs with lyrics that inspire, empower, and help us to remember. And oftentimes as The Cat’s Meow winds down in its second hour, The Cat Lady will help to take the rough edges off your day with a morsel of poetry or prose mixed between downbeat songs. As she quiets things down and chills you out, you could be listening to the show and still hear a kitten hop on a shag rug.

'A Deconstructionist Mind' -Nef We often times oversimplify complex concepts; Our unconscious mind, being the “well-oiled machine” that it is, Serves as our foundational thought process. We are witness in a time of global awakening and imperial dissension. In order to continue to disentangle ourselves from generational oppressive systems, we must first decolonize the frameworks that govern those concepts. In our journey, which I believe is a journey of The Spirit, we will share and bring forthtestimony, draw connections between people, governmental policies, events, and ideologiesthrough methods that are considered unconventional in our mainstream educational spaces. We will engage in genuine philosophical discourse by rooting ourselves in genuine intentions to fight for democracy, sovereignty, self-determination and justice; To push back against censorship, discreditation tactics and authoritarian control of ThePeople’s Narrative. “We can’t stop the wave, but we can learn to surf’” -Nef
