Kara Grainger Live in Concert (wsg The Kidd or the Deacon)
Kara Grainger offers a seductive, distinctly modern take on roots, blues and soul. With sultry, mesmerizing vocals, engaging songwriting talent, and fiery slide guitar work, Kara boasts an impressive set of skills. The Australian singer, songwriter and guitarist evokes comparisons to Bonnie Raitt, but she bears a style all her own.
Kara's accomplishments are many. Her debut solo album, Grand and Green River, was released in 2008. Produced in the US with David Kalish (Rickie Lee Jones, Los Lobos, Jason Mraz), the album stayed n the top 30 of the Americana Charts for 38 straight weeks. The album received the Best Roots CD award in the year it was released. Two more albums followed: "LA Blues," and "Shiver and Sigh," and her fourth recording is in the works.
Kara has also toured extensively performing throughout the US, Europe, and Asia. She has opened for many legendary musicians, including Buddy Guy, Peter Frampton, Taj Mahal and Johnny Lang, to name a few.
Making the night extra special? Kara's rhythm section for the evening will be none other than the Ann Arbor Blues Society's own clinic leaders, John Bochnowski on bass and Everett Reid on the drums.
The Kidd or the Deacon are two Lansing area musicians that have worked their craft for several years. Their sound is as distinctive as it is original. The Kidd plays harmonica and sings. The Deacon plays guitar, harmonica and sings.
Tickets are $10 in advance, and $15 at the door.
