August Newsletter and the Indie Music Angels Family 

  • Official Launch of the Indie Music Angels Patronage Page
  • NEW ALBUM in the works!
  • Upcoming Concerts 

Friends,

I hope this message finds all of you doing well.  Summer has been zipping by, though I now have 3+ weeks “off” the road (which means I can finally catch up on emails, housework and my never ending to-do list! ha ha!). I am attempting to get outside every day on my bike and soak up time in nature, as well as reconnecting with dear friends and loved ones.  And every once in awhile I get to swing in my…

50 for 50: Fifty Shows at 50

To mark her long career and her 50th birthday, Cara Luft (The Small Glories, The Wailin’ Jennys) launched “50 for 50” — fifty curated shows that have her travelling across Canada, the US and Europe.  She is joined by a cast of friends and special guest artists who share her sense of adventure and joyful music-making, as well as her passion to explore, collaborate and celebrate.  Join Cara for a year of unique performances & musical surprises! 

No two shows are the same.  Whether it's playing banjo tunes with friends in England, leading harmony singing workshops in Virginia, rocking out to 80’s songs at guitar camp in California or singing heartbreak ballads in Vancouver, each event is one-of-a-kind.  As one promoter put it, "I don’t know which is more beguiling... her 1000 watt personality, her wizardry on guitar and banjo, the power of her voice or her songwriting talent?  In any event, the audience is in for a real treat!”
