JUNO award winning singer-songwriter-musician Cara Luft is that rare artist steeped in
folk and traditional roots music almost from birth, yet willing to alter the fabric, stretch
the boundaries and fearlessly bend genres and styles.  A founding member of Canadian
folk super-group The Wailin' Jennys, and the brainchild behind Winnipeg's acclaimed
powerhouse duo The Small Glories, Luft deserves her solid reputation as one of
Canada’s finest live performers, armed with amazing tenacity, vision, energy and a
contagious hilarity. To quote the roots magazine No Depression, “Luft has a rich
tradition in folk music – it’s safe to assume that she knows her stuff – and upon listening
it becomes quite clear that she is indeed a formidable songwriter and performer... [The]
lovely Ms. Luft sets the bar for the talented few who’ll follow in her footsteps.”  

Cara Luft has a spirit that drives her to connect with people, and for this she is loved
everywhere she goes. Reviewers of her live shows talk about her compelling vocals,
superb musicianship, humorous anecdotes, accomplished songwriting, ability to switch
between styles and the charm of her stage presence. Cara’s the real deal: there’s
nothing pretentious about her. That sense of honesty, integrity, personality and
spontaneity permeates both her music and her live shows.
Catch a rare opportunity to see Cara shine solo at Hugh’s Room on Tuesday October
14.
