Today on the AmericanaMusic.com Podcast we welcome Cat Terrones. She’s a singer-songwriter from California whose songs, vocal presence, and harmonies wrap you up in their sound. I first met Cat at the Folk Alliance Conference International in 2024 and have been a fan of her music ever since. She’s recently released her album, Shelter in Our Beauty. We’re excited to have Cat Terrones on our show today.
