Singer-songwriter and Best of Orlando®-lauded musician — placing in both Best Pop Act and Best Singer-Songwriter — Cat Ridgeway has been announced as a headliner on this year’s Orlando Beer Festival.
Happening in mid-November, this Orlando Weekly event promises hundreds of varieties of beers, seltzers and spirits from local and national breweries and companies, as well as activities, games, vendors, DJs and (yes) live music.
Ridgeway released her latest harder-edged album, Sprinter, back in the spring. It was a new creative chapter for this familiar local artist, featuring adventurous collabs with members of Japanese Breakfast, WHY? and Ween. Make sure to pregame with Ridgeway’s Orlando Weekly interview, conducted when Sprinter was released.
Orlando Beer Fest happens Saturday, Nov. 15, at 2 p.m. Tickets are available now.
