about

Kara Alexis Young taught herself how to play the guitar at the age of 10 when she discovered her mother's old Goya buried in the attic. Although she spent years playing covers of other peoples music, in the summer of 2001 Kara began to write her own songs, recording her first album in 2002 and her second album a year later. Since then, she has been captivating audiences across the country with her sultry yet fierce performances and lyrics to match. Her music is a unique synergy of folksy storytelling, hard-hitting grooves, and smooth melodies that perfectly blur the line between folk, soul and jazz. Now, with the help of percussionist Daniel Truog, keyboardist Shad Small, and bassist Sam Heminger, Kara is taking her music to a new level with a live show guaranteed to move you and get you moving.
