Cara

"They sound like a whole festival wrapped up in one band!” Bruce MacGregor, BBC Radio Scotland (UK) A multi-national band with Irish, Scottish and German members, CARA tour worldwide with unique interpretations of Celtic music, firmly rooted in the Irish and Scottish tradition, presenting innovative arrangements of traditional material alongside critically acclaimed original compositions. “Cara sound like Cara - there can't be a higher recommendation.” Folker! Magazine (Germany) They have headlined some of the largest Irish music festivals and brought audiences to their feet across Europe, the USA and Australia. “An outstanding concert band” Boston Irish Reporter (USA) With two Irish Music Awards, six studio and two live albums as well as countless performances under their belts, CARA effortlessly navigate the spaces between trad, singer/songwriter, “nu-folk” and acoustic pop. Forced by unforeseen events to pause an otherwise extremely active touring life, CARA have responded to the global pandemic with a thoughtful, philosophical and life-affirming emotional testimony to some big questions in their new 2021 album, “Grounded”. In this, their eighth studio album, CARA celebrate the traditions that truly ground them, the solace that can be found in nature, and the inner strength that we find to cope with life‘s challenges. “Music of the highest order“ Mike Harding “Strong on emotion, story and poetry...impressive, dramatic and accomplished.” Folk Radio UK
