Singer/songwriter/guitarist extraordinaire Cara Luft is that rare artist steeped in folk and traditional roots music almost from birth yet willing to alter that fabric, stretch the boundaries, not afraid to bend genres, styles and integrate what others might regard as a disparate set of influences.  Born into a folk musical family in Calgary (Canada), Cara played with dulcimers and autoharps while her peers played with Barbies and Nintendo.  Currently based in Winnipeg, Cara has become a widely-respected and well-traveled member of the Canadian folk/roots music community.  She has wowed audiences and critics with her solo performances across North America and Europe since leaving folk trio The Wailin' Jennys.  There's nothing pretentious about Cara, she's the real deal.  And that sense of honesty, integrity, personality and spontaneity permeates and resonates throughout both her music and her live performances.  Reviewers and fans alike are eagerly awaiting the release of her upcoming new solo album, Darlingford, in 2012. The album was recorded in old churches, living rooms and home studios across Canada during 2011, and includes an all-star cast of guest musicians. The project once again captures Cara’s prowess as a songwriter, singer and instrumentalist.  Leave it to Canadian music elder statesman Terry David Mulligan to sum it up best: “This is her time... Make room in your musical world for Cara Luft before she kicks your door down!”
