Artist History With influences including hip-hop, bluegrass, folk, latin, classical, country, jazz, blues, and rhythm and blues, the sound CaraBeca echoes is an ever-changing blend difficult to predict. On any given occasion she can be compared to Emmylou Harris, Chrissie Hynde, Ben Harper, Sarah McLachlan, or Bonnie Raitt. CaraBeca takes her slide guitar and sensational solos beyond the traditional realms of blues and adds a rhythmic feel to produce a soulful, appealing sound easy to move to and hard to forget. With songs like Savings, it is apparent why this woman can appeal to a vast, diverse group of listeners to make a long-lasting impression. Her smooth, sexy voice is emotionally expressive and her lyrical magic animates the stories of her trials and vast experiences. As seen in songs like The Song of Debt and Little Sis, CaraBeca constantly expands the limits of alternative blues-folk funk-rock to emerge as a premier guitarist, vocalist, and performer. Fall of 2001 closed out CaraBeca's two month tour to promote her debut album, Sly Footed. Traveling throughout the Midwest, South and East Coast regions brought CaraBeca to such venues as the Red Light Cafe - Atlanta, Sidewalk Cafe - NYNY, Grape Street Pub - Philly, Tir Na Nog - Boston, Waldron Arts Center - Bloomington,IN, and in Chicago: the Subterranean, Beale Street, The Boulevard Cafe and Life's Too Short.
