I had the pleasure of meeting Kara Nally for breakfast twice over the last 30 days at “First Watch” on Main Street in Sarasota. Both times, Kara was stylishly late! I have come to learn that is Kara being Kara! It didn’t bother me…..it’s Florida and no one is chasing me! Kara never stops talking- she has so much to share. She is a bundle of enthusiasm. Kara was born in Weymouth, Mass and also lived in Norwalk, Mass. She went to the same high school as Susan Tedeschi……different years! Kara started singing Mariah Carey songs when she was in the first grade. She has played with many different bands since the age of 14. She always sang in the chorus in her high school years. She proudly told me that one of her uncle’s performed on “Broadway” in New York City.

Based out of Durham, NC, Violet Bell is an original indie duo striving to create “folk-soul music that sings in your bones.” Lizzy Ross has made a name for herself with stirring original songs and “a voice like cigarettes and the smoothest whiskey you’ve ever tasted” (Chicago RedEye). She won FloydFest’s On the Rise contest and has been awarded the Carolina Music Award for best rock female and an Emerging Artist Grant from the Durham Arts Council. Multi-instrumentalist Omar Ruiz-Lopez (Jonathan Byrd, Crystal Bright, the Durham Symphony Orchestra) elevates the music with violin, guitar, cello, mandolin, and stellar vocal harmonies.
