After just releasing her album recorded at the Iconic Royal Studios in Memphis with Boo Mitchell and Hi Rhythm section, Kara is now on out on the road promoting the new record with a new bunch of songs, the first string of shows being on the West Coast here in Oregon.

Kara was born in a small harbor town in Sydney Australia and since her music beginnings has travelled all over the globe performing her music which is influenced greatly by southern soul, roots and blues.

"Instead of bombastic, raw & gritty blues, this showcase is sensuous & steamy, with B.B. King qualities, & imaginative “Soul Finger” type-horns. Australian-born & Nashville-based blues vet Kara Grainger’s blues projection is like a high plains breeze; her voice is instinctually humid & refined...This is an impeccably produced set with superior accompaniment. They must disconnect the fire sprinklers in clubs when these people play.” -John Apice, Americana Highways


"Talk about star power, a killer voice and guitar skills. She said to the band as much to the audience, “I think tonight, we’ll just play some blues.” Playing slide guitar, Grainger began with rootsy blues, her voice full-bodied with plenty of soul. There was clarity there too with that unmistakable bell tone mixed with grit. We were in for some serious musicianship with Kara Grainger. Her vocals packed a punch and she played monster guitar solos that had the crowd whooping and clapping. Nice to see a female musician kick some a** like that". - Rock & Blues Muse
