Hatchetman

With the nature of the ever evolving Cape Town music scene, Hatchetman have gone
through a number of changes over the last few years. From stylistic changes to members
either moving country or following other endeavours. One thing however has always
remained and that is the unrivalled blend of harmony, be that three part, or the current
two part. The name Hatchetman stems from the band's ability to cut straight to the heart
with songs on life, love, and most things in between. The honesty, and a willingness to
explore the darker and more tender sides of the human condition, as well as a very
personal and human presentation of the same, sets the band apart from many of its
contemporaries.
Lyrical topics range from heartbreak to a rumination of the multifaceted nature of Cape
Town, while musically, the band meets somewhere between folk, rock, funk and
acoustically inclined sound. Throw into this a nice mix of covers by some of the band's
biggest influences, ranging from Crosby, Stills and Nash and the Beatles, to Imagine
Dragons and more and you've got yourself the perfect mix for any occasion.
The duo is made up of Jonathan Tait on acoustic guitar and vocals and Matt Catto on
cajon and vocals."
