Oak Island, North Carolina-based Nowcat brings together Americana, jam rock, rhythm and blues, and original songwriting, with a growing presence across the Southeast.
Built around singer-songwriter and guitarist Richard D'Anjolell and vocalist, percussionist and songwriter Shelia Bell, Nowcat performs both as a duo and a full band. The group has appeared three times in Puerto Rico, along with performances in Florida, Nashville, and throughout the Carolinas.
Nowcat's six-song EP, The Dunes Have Ears, was produced by Jamie Hoover of The Spongetones and recorded in Southport, North Carolina. Originally released as the band's second recording project, the EP was reissued in 2025, with “UR” currently being promoted as a single.
The band's music has received airplay on Modern Rock 98.7 Wilmington and Cape Fear radio, according to its representatives.
Nowcat's earlier release, MEOW, was produced by Joe “The Butcher” Nicolo and features original material alongside the band's interpretation of “Jackson,” made famous by Johnny Cash and June Carter.
Drawing from Americana, jam rock, and rhythm and blues, Nowcat continues performing throughout southeastern North Carolina, alternating between its duo format and a full-band lineup.
The band is scheduled to perform at The Wharf in Supply, North Carolina, on Saturday, November 28, from 6 to 9 p.m.
