Cara Luft Returns to Harrison for her “50 for 50” Tour

Popular Folk Singer to Perform with Collaborators and Give Vocal Workshop

The Harrison Festival Society will be temporarily moving from their traditional venue of the Harrison Memorial Hall to the Agassiz Agricultural Hall for a vocal workshop and concert with Cara Luft on Saturday September 21st.        
 
To mark her long career and her 50th birthday, Cara Luft (The Small Glories, The Wailin' Jennys) has launched “50 for 50” — fifty curated shows that are seeing her travel 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.  No two shows are the same.  For the Agassiz show, Cara will be joined by close friends The Doggone Brothers, a Kootenay-based duo specializing in old time and bluegrass music and harmonies.  And Cara?  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!”  Join Caraand The Doggone Brothers for a one-of-a-kind unique performance full of musical surprises.

Following on Cara’s popular vocal workshop at the Harrison Festival this July, she will be offering a one-hour vocal harmony workshop at the same venue in Agassiz as her concert, at 2pm on the same day. Tickets for the workshop are 20 dollars and folks who attend both workshop and concert will receive a discount on their evening concert ticket. 

The show begins at 7:30pm with doors opening at 6:30pm. Tickets for Cara Luft 50 for 50 can be purchased online at www.harrisonfestival.com, by phone at 604.796.3664 or in person at the Ranger Station Art Gallery in Harrison Hot Springs.
