Cara Luft

To mark her long career and her 50th birthday, Cara Luft (The Small Glories, The Wailin’ Jennys) is launching “50 for 50” — fifty curated shows that will see her travel across Canada, the US and Europe.  She will be joined by a cast of friends and special guest artists who share her sense of adventure and joyful music-making, as well as her passion to explore, collaborate and celebrate.  No two shows will be the same.

For the Seaside Folk’NFiddle show at the Mary Winspear, Cara will be joined by West Coast songbird and close friend Shari Ulrich.  Beloved by fans and musicians alike, Shari has a way of drawing people close to her heart.  She holds space for many in the music community, offering support and wisdom gained from her decades of performing.  A musician’s musician and a songwriter’s writer, Shari sets the bar for any artist wanting to expand their skill and vision.

And Cara?  As one promoter put it, “I don’t know which is more beguiling… her 1000 watt personality, her wizardry on guitar and banjo, the power of her voice or her songwriting talent?  In any event, the audience is in for a real treat!”  Join Cara and Shari and other special guests for a one-of-a-kind unique performance full of musical surprises.
