Kara Grainger
Australian-born US-based Kara Grainger returns to the U.K. in October for a short run of dates, and The Garibaldi Live are delighted to welcome her back.
Currently based in Nashville, Kara is an international performing artist and has toured extensively throughout USA, Australia, Asia and Europe. Last year, she had another successful tour in Europe, playing shows in U.K., Austria, Switzerland and Czech Republic.
As on previous tours, Kara will be performing with her outstanding 3-piece organ trio, comprising Kara on guitar and vocals, Sam Montero on Hammond-style keyboard. Toby Campbell will be on drums.
With her classic song-writing skills, smooth sultry vocals, and the ability to whip up a storm with a fiery slide guitar, comparisons between Grainger and the likes of the great Bonnie Raitt, or Susan Tedeschi, are inevitably.
"Grainger’s voice is quite some instrument itself: technically formidable but equally comfortable expressing warmth, vulnerability, longing and pain .... and Living With Your Ghost is an enticing introduction to what looks to be a major talent."

Ray Beadle
Ray Beadle has become a favourite amongst Australian blues and music fans. An exhilarating guitarist, an enthralling singer-songwriter, and an extremely talented performer, Ray was awarded Best Album, Best Song, and Best Male Artist in the Chain Blues Awards.
Ray has shared the stage with many great Australian and International artists and has thrilled countless festival audiences. A three-month residency with the house band in BB King’s Club in Memphis, as well as several Southern Blues festivals, were all defining moments during Ray’s three tours to the USA.
