Porch Cat Bellingham, WA Porch Cat is the musical project of singer-songwriter, Chan Barraza. Through uptempo punk songs, sludgy ballads, and pop hooks, Porch Cat writes about queer identity, pain and chronic illness, abuse and assault, colonization and racism - ultimately returning to themes of love and empowerment. As a queer, nonbinary, disabled and chronically ill Mexican-American, Porch Cat strives to push the boundaries of representation in music, as well as fight for feminism, queer rights, disability rights, and against racism. Porch Cat originally began as an acoustic singer-songwriter project by Chan B in 2011 in Bellingham, WA. Benicki began to learn guitar at age 12, and soon combined their love for writing poetry and singing into writing original songs. Porch Cat has transformed from into an eclectic band influenced by Benicki's love of punk, grunge, and pop music.
