Cara Cantarella: About
Cara Cantarella Band
Cara Cantarella is the songwriter and lead singer/front person for the Denver-based Cara Cantarella Band. Imagine a sound somewhere in the vicinity of Sara Bareilles—folk-infused percussive pop with r&b roots. The group emphasizes an original core of material and performs a wide range of hit covers, too.
Cara's songwriting is the centerpiece of CCB shows, highly influenced by Joni Mitchell but with a contemporary feel (Colbie Callait, Bruno Mars, Dave Matthews, Jason Mraz). The sets are built around the band's complex vocals: sweet and sultry woven in with edgy, intense power. But perhaps the most impactful aspect of CCB shows is the live energy on stage. The passion of the moment definitely takes you there!

Now I Know
About Now I Know . . .
Sometimes there is this turning point where you come into your own. Where things seem clear and you have certainty. All of the doubts that haunted you are quieted. The road may not feel totally pre-paved, but it unfolds before you, and you just know. This is your direction, it's absolutely calling to you, and now is the time.
This CD is a tribute to that inner voice in all of us. We like to say that it has been whispering to us quietly, but in truth it probably has been shouting out for a while now, trying to get our attention. And we finally have the fortitude to listen.

Letter to the World
About Letter to the World . . .
Letter to the World, Cara's second release, is a CD about forces beyond our control. It’s about mysterious factors that conspire to bring us what’s best for us, whether or not we know it. It’s about how, miraculously and fortunately, we learn from our mistakes.
After everything, it reminds us, our lives can hold as much happiness as we choose to let in. Our job is to do just that: let it in!
