SOUL SINGER-GUITARIST KARA GRAINGER
TO PLAY JOHNNY D’S

Australia-Born Guitarist Lands Her Music in Starbucks,
Chosen to Play at Austin City Limits Music Festival

AUSTIN, Texas — Kara Grainger and her fiery bluesy guitar, backed by her band, play Johnny D’s in Somerville early next month.

Grainger takes the stage at 9 p.m. Wednesday, August 8, at Johnny D's, 17 Holland St. in Somerville. Cover is $7; information: 617.776.2004, www.johnnyds.com.

Grainger’s live show will feature cuts from her latest project, GRAND AND GREEN RIVER — spiced with her distinctive vocals and lead guitar work on acoustic, electric and slide — that she recorded through Sydney-based independent label Craving Records.

Two more songs from the recording — her love and loss anthem, “Secret Soul,” and “Cannot Be Denied,” with its sweet, down-home flavor about not fighting the ways of love and nature — are set to join as of July 31 the Starbucks U.S. in-store music broadcast called “Contemporary Grind” that already features several of the album tracks. They’ll play in the more than 7,000 Starbucks stores in the United States and in the approximately 100 Starbucks across Australia, where Grainger was born and in whose rock and blues clubs she got her start singing and playing guitar.

On Sunday, September 16, Grainger will play the world-famous Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin: 2:40 p.m. on the BMI Stage.

Interview times are available as well as press kits.
