This month Jeff Berkley’s Sunday Songwriter Showcase (co-sponsored by Folk Heritage and the San Diego Troubadour) features Aly Rowell and SDFH’s own Cara Cormier! (Tickets available at https://www.thejazzlounge.live/ NOT the Ticketweb link below).
Aly Rowell is an indie folk/rock artist whose songs delve into topics like literature, faith, society, and grief. In a style reminiscent of mid-century female folk musicians, Aly marries hooky lines with sharp storytelling, inviting listeners to explore the complexities of the human experience beyond the realm of romance.
Cara Cormier flings lyrical spaghetti into the universe to keep herself sane, help people laugh, and create a more just and compassionate society. Drawing from her rural Kansas Mennonite upbringing, Cara uses her love of folk and Americana styles to craft cheeky, heartfelt story-songs using acoustic guitar, harmonica, mandolin, banjo, and spoons. From hysterical dating accounts to mischievous protest songs to tender confessionals, Cara writes the songs you never expected to hear.
