After a brief festival hiatus, the blues scene is about to heat up again at The Voodoo Rooms on Thursday, 19th September 2024, with the return of the incredible Kara Grainger Band.
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Kara Grainger has earned a global reputation for her captivating slide guitar mastery, impeccable songwriting, and sultry vocals. Her talent consistently evokes comparisons to legendary artists like Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi, not only for her skill but for her ability to imbue every lyric with deep emotion. Grainger’s sound is a harmonious blend of old-school blues with a modern edge, reflecting her love for classic influences while infusing her music with a fresh, 21st-century twist.
Her journey through the blues has taken her around the world, and now she’s back in the UK, ready to deliver a performance filled with soulful melodies and heartfelt storytelling. Grainger’s unique combination of slide guitar, evocative vocals, and deeply personal songwriting is sure to leave the audience uplifted and wanting more.
Opening the night will be Edinburgh’s own The Burnside Burners, a group born from the renowned Edinburgh Blues Academy, an initiative by the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival. Formed in 2019, the band brings together musicians inspired by the great Mississippi Hill bluesmen, particularly RL Burnside, and their passion for traditional blues will undoubtedly set the tone for an unforgettable evening.
