Cara

 

Cara began her musical journey

when she was very young; she

 started singing at family gatherings

 and quickly garnered the nickname

 “Cara Bird” for her beautiful voice.

Cara studied piano, voice, and the

violin during her childhood. As a

 youngster she sang the National

 Anthem at several local sporting

 events, played Christmas concerts

 at retirement communities, and

became rather well known in

 southeastern Michigan.

 

Cara continued her musical journey

 at the University of Michigan as a

Vocal Performance major. It was

there that she developed the

 friendships and inspiration that

would lead her to pursue music as

a professional career. Cara left the

 University in January of 2015 after

 successfully completing her junior

year to pursue music full time.

 

She performs regularly, either solo

on piano, with her six-piece

ensemble band, or as a duo, trio, or

 quartet depending on the venue

size and requirements. She is known

 for her beautiful voice, engaging

 performances, and charismatic

 personality.

 

Following a traumatic personal loss

 in 2014, Cara was inspired to write

 music in earnest. She focuses her

 performance on her original songs,

along with a great mix of covers

from a wide range of musical genres

 including blue-eyed soul, pop, and foreign language songs.

 

Cara continues to actively write,

record and perform in both English

 and Polish; travels annually to

Poland and Europe; and is working

with her management team on

 upcoming tours in both Poland and

 throughout the United States. Cara

 speaks Polish, Russian, and

Norwegian.

 

Her producer debuted her new band

 at the Copernicus Center’s 2016

“Taste of Polonia Festival” Labor Day

 weekend, marking her first

appearance in the Chicago area

for her beloved Polish public.
