Cara Cantarella is a Denver-based singer/songwriter who writes music with a depth and understanding that bridges lifetimes of experience. With a deep respect for those who have influenced her—Joni Mitchell, Sarah MacLachlan, and James Taylor, among other admired performers—Cara now shares her music alongside contemporaries Dar Williams, Patti Griffin, Norah Jones, and Ani DiFranco.
Cara’s music expands listeners’ minds and brings them closer to their hearts. Her songs tell of lessons learned and moments cherished. Her songwriting reflects the amazing details of life while exposing its larger truths all at once.
In 2003, Cara released her solo album, Beautiful Heart. She garnered instant praise for her natural talent:
“Cara Cantarella, literally translated in Italian, means ‘Beloved Singer.” Folks, it’s not a stage name—she was born to sing. Lately she has expanded her sound with a powerful five-piece band that has her songs soaring and blowing audiences away.”
—Ed McIlvaine, Swallow Hill Music Association
Cara’s music captures the complete mystery of connection, honoring the vulnerability of new-found love and urging the listener to take the risk of uncertain beginnings. Her third latest release, Now I Know, 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.
