With recent participation in the SXSW festival and the Deli’s Best of NYC Fest, Shayna Zaid and The Catch are a hunble bunch with a welcoming stage presence. Having only played together a short while prior to their first show as a band (Yan had joined only a week before), Shayna Zaid and The Catch describe their first live performance as a phase when they “were still trying to find our individual place in the big picture, yet, there was a certain magic there, and we all felt it, like we were somehow meant to meet and play together.” Upbeat and fun, the ambitious band keeps upcoming projects top secret but shared some inside details about performing in New York City and the meaning behind their poetic lyrics. – Read Gina Alioto’s Q&A with Shayna here.
