One of the most sought after bands within Germany, Cara are touring England to promote their latest album, “Yet We Sing”, performing predominantly self-written material, with an international line-up and reputation.

Born fourteen years ago of Germany’s longstanding love affair with Celtic music, Cara’s line-up features four of that country’s finest traditional musicians, alongside Scottish songwriter and pianist Kim Edgar, delivering an innovative blend of old and new material, fronted by twin lead vocals.

The German-Scottish quintet released “Yet We Sing” in 2016, with extensive touring in Germany, and a Scottish tour taking in Celtic Connections (Glasgow), Eden Court, Inverness, Dunfermline’s Carnegie Hall and Edinburgh’s Queens Hall.

The Cara sound is shaped and defined by the two charismatic singers and songwriters, Gudrun Walther (Germany) and Kim Edgar (Scotland). “Yet We Sing“ deals with the “hard stuff’ – love, death, religion, war and hope – drawing the listener near. The album also captures the live energy that has earned Cara their enthusiastic fanbase and their reputation within the folk scene. Energising, emotive and engaging, Cara aim to connect directly with the listener.

Winners of two Irish Music Awards, “Best New Irish Artist“ 2010 and “Top Group“ 2011, Cara have toured the United States seven times, playing the main stages at Milwaukee Irish Fest 2009, Kansas City Irish Festival 2009 and 2010, and Dublin Irish Fest 2014.
