Kara Kay posseses a strong, clear and penetrating voice with wide range and versatility that has often been described as having the combined vocal qualities of artists such as Sarah McLaughlin, Loreena Mckennitt, Enya, K.D. Lang, Lisa Gerrard and Diana Krall. A bit of alternative folk with a tendency for jazzy, bluesy, reggae and middle eastern flurries to seep through. Moody lyrics that resonate with the deep rooted emotional and societal issues that affect and plague us all, yet still search for and conclude with optimistic resolutions.

Born and raised in the desert of Phoenix, Arizona Kara studied and played music from childhood. Instruments include Trumpet, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Flute, Harmonica, Drums(Dumbek, Djembe, Percussion) Autoharp and Hammered Dulcimer. She was a part of Arizona’s Rock, Reggae, Jazz, Blues, Middle Eastern and Experimental music scenes for nearly a decade and worked, performed, jammed and recorded with various bands and artists from 1997-2006.

Kara finally stepped out with a guitar and debuted a solo performance in California at the Telemagica Festival in May 2007. On December 27th 2007 she recorded solo demo cd titled ‘Just A Demo’ in Tempe, AZ @ Red Mountain Studios and a couple weeks later relocated from Arizona to SW Missouri. The two summers following were spent doing small tours driving back along the south west through Arizona, Utah and California. Currently Kara is working on new material and exploring the medium of virtual concerts via live streaming sites on the internet. The rest is yet to unfold and be told so stay tuned.
