Cara Cartney is not just an accomplished musician and incredible singer, but an entertainer extraordinaire. Her versatile and expressive voice enables her to perform any genre of music with her own unique flair. Whether she is covering a classic ballad or performing a heartfelt original, Cara infuses her songs with creativity and passion.

A Cara Cartney show is more than your typical solo acoustic guitar performance. It's an interactive, engaging, and fun-filled experience. Cara takes requests and serves them up with witty repartee, hilarious jokes, and amusing anecdotes that make the audience laugh and smile while she beams with amusement. "I guess I’m a little eccentric, and I embrace it. I want to get people involved at my shows and interact with them. I want it to be more than just me playing music for 3 hours. I want the people that come out randomly to a venue I’m playing to stay because they enjoy the show. If you’re not having fun, then I’m certainly not either."

Cara's talent and charisma has earned her recognition and appreciation from various media outlets and organizations. She was featured on the 98.1 FM Remarkable Women Show with Marylin Russell and headlined the VIP area at the Creative Inspiration Concert in 2018. She supports the Danny D Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps aspiring artists pursue their dreams.

Cara also gives back to the local music scene by hosting open mic nights at Sparky's World Famous in Levittown and The Temperance House in Newtown, where she welcomes and encourages other musicians to showcase their skills. "You just gotta get over that first hump! It takes a lot to get up there especially if it’s the first time. I’ll always encourage you to get up at your own pace."

Cara performs at various venues across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, such as River House at Odette's, Naked Brewing, Shady Brook Farm, El Barrio Cantina, HopsScotch22, Under The Moon, and of course Broken Goblet Brewing, where she hosts First Friday every month. She also collaborates with other talented artists, such as The SEVEN Band, with whom she first performed Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill album in December 2022 from atop the Tama stage at a packed Broken Goblet Brewing.

Cara infuses her shows with a passion for music and a joy for the performing arts.  Each show is a memorable experience that will leave you wanting more.
