Kara Grainger

With sultry. mesmerizing vocals, engaging songwriting talent, and fiery slide guitar work, Kara Grainger boasts an impressive set of skills. This Australian singer, songwriter and guitarist may evoke comparisons to Bonnie Raitt, but she bears a style all her own, a relentlessly seductive, distinctly modern take on roots, blues and soul music.

At the age of 16 Kara joined with her brother Mitch Grainger to form the band Papa Lips. The band toured consistently throughout Australia and produced two studio albums that received critical acclaim and were played on several radio stations nationally. The band was heavily influenced by the soul sounds from Stax recording in Memphis, and by the funk, soul and blues from New Orleans.

In 2008 Kara signed to Australian label Craving Records with whom Kara released her debut recording Grand and Green River. The recording was co-produced in the US with David Kalish and remained in the top 30 of the Americana Charts for 38 straight weeks.
