Extras

Here are some of Cara’s favourite people, places and things 

Lynne McIlvride Evans, Visual Artist
www.mcilvride-evans.com
Lynne is a visual artist based near Uxbridge, ON.  She has become a dear friend, and one of her pieces was used for the Wailin’ Jennys “40 Days” album.  Please check out her work, it’s stunning…

Julie Vincent, Photographer
www.julievincentphotography.com
Julie is a photographer based in Calgary, AB.  She captures real people in real life, and does it beautifully.  I’m honoured to have her as one of my mainstay photographers, and to consider her a close friend.

The Acoustic Guitar
www.acousticguitar.net
Western Canada’s finest acoustic instrument store, based in Calgary, AB.  You have to see it to believe it!

Kelly Wainwright, Conceptual Artist
www.playjumpeat.com
Kelly is one of my oldest and most creative friends.  She loves apples, making art, and starting fun creative projects that encourage others to find their inner artistic selves (Messy Monkey Arts and Play Jump Eat).  She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and I wish I lived in her back yard.

Fourserious Creations
www.fourserious.com
Jeff Carter heads up this fine design company based in Toronto.  Jeff did all the design work on my last album (The Light Fantastic) and he was a delight to work with.  He did everything from posters to stamps to t-shirts to stickers (which were a huge hit with audiences).

Guppy Design
www.guppydesign.com
I’ve known the guys at Guppy for many years now and have worked with them on several projects.  They are one of the finest design companies in Canada (based in Canada’s culture capital of Winnipeg!), always creative and innovative.  Their office is a super fun place to check out, and they serve a mean cup of coffee!

John Pearce Strings
www.jpstrings.com
I’m honoured to be one of the many musicians who has an endorsement deal with John Pearce Strings.  Not only do they make great sounding strings but they’re really lovely folks too!

K&K Pickups
www.kksound.com
K&K makes one of the finest acoustic guitar pick-ups around.  It’s a great small company based in Oregon.  Check them out!  I’m honoured to be endorsed by them.

7 am Design
www.7am.ca
My good friend Mike Hepher is the brains behind 7 am, a small web-design company based in Cranbrook, BC. Mike is a wonderful artist and a fine musician — we’ve worked together on several projects and I’m honoured to have him as a friend (his wife Anie rocks too!)

Oxfam International
www.oxfam.org
Oxfam is an international confederation of 14 organizations working together in 99 countries and with partners and allies around the world to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice.

Paste Magazine
www.pastemagazine.com
The folks at Paste first contacted me back in 2001, after my first full-length CD came out (Tempting the Storm).  They’ve been very supportive of my career over the years, and they put out a mighty fine magazine.

Schertler Pickup Systems
www.schertlerusa.com
I’ve had the honour of using several Schertler instrument pickups and am proud to endorse them.  Check out their DYN-M and DYN-G pickups (for mandolin and guitar) — pretty amazing sound!

Canada Council for the Arts
www.canadacouncil.ca
I am grateful for the support the Canada Council for the Arts has given me over the years.  Without them, many Canadian musicians and artists would not have the opportunities to develop their careers or master their craft.
