Release: Cara Being Blue "Grit"
joined by select friends, including NY Blues Hall of Fame
guitarist Dave Fields and former Allman Brothers guitarist Jack Pearson. Cara
dedicates Grit, her
first full-length album, to women with grit, especially two
close friends who, after fighting with integrity and grace, passed away of
cancer.
As a popular pro blues jam host, and following the
successful release of her debut EP in 2016, Full Throttle, Cara is already
familiar to blues fans.
Mentored by Boston’s great “Regal Queen of the Blues”
Shirley Lewis, Cara left Boston for Nashville over a decade ago to develop her
live performance
skills. She quickly won the hearts and respect of the local
industry, blues radio, her peers, and fans. Cara and her band have been
nominated for
blues awards four years in a row by the Nashville Industry
Music Awards. In 2016, Cara was honored by the Tennessee Rhythm and Blues
Society for her
contributions to the blues genre. Cara will take her new
album to the UK and Europe in March 2019 on her Grit Tour.
