Katchafire team up with ARIA Award-winning Australian First Nations artist Emily Wurramara for their next Revival 2.0 Guest Edition single, collaborating on ‘Giddy Up’ – released on 4 September.
Emily Wurramara said she is so honoured to be a part of the album for Katchafire. ‘Their music has been a soundtrack for so many beautiful moments in my life, so to be covering a big song like ‘Giddy Up’ and pay respect to these legends is just so special.’
Katchafire are currently touring the US on their Revival World Tour with dates across California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Special guest Jordan T joins for the first week before the band supports J-Boog for a run of shows.
After a quick trip to New Caledonia for the Guidance Festival, Katchafire will head to Australia for five weeks in October and November. Limited early-bird tickets for the Australian tour are on sale now. The forthcoming Revival 2.0 Guest Editionm album is out on 27 November.
The Revival 2.0 Guest Edition album unites roots and reggae voices from across the globe, with more iconic collaborations to come before the album drops in November.
