Alma June and The Persian Cats The group’s sonic palette is an eclectic blend of musical styles that breaks down rigid genre boundaries. Although it never sidesteps nostalgia, their inventive sound is difficult to compare. The six piece features jazz-influenced vocals; classical fingerstyle guitar; neo-romantic viola stylings that weave into free-flowing beats; and intricate upright bass lines juxtaposed with a mournful multi-phonic horn section.

Alma JunAlma June has been writing songs since early childhood. A pivotal spark came when she was gifted an old classical guitar by one of her mom’s friends at age 10. Through brooding, rough and lonely teenage years, Alma found solace through moody classical guitar practice. An extraordinary teacher and friend exposed her to the emotionally charged sounds of artists like Francisco Tárrega, and Heitor Villa-Lobos, which colored the rest of her musical journey.
