VIMEO: Dave & Kara
Shortly after landing a contract with Arista Records, the lead singer of Dave's dream band was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Dave continued to play and write music, becoming one of the first inductees into Oregon's Music Hall of Fame. In-between his construction day job, Dave wrote and produced for top ad agencies and brands across the U.S. He also co-founded Kung Fu Bakery Recording, a multi-grammy winning recording studio in Portland, Oregon.
Then, Dave met Kara, a poet, shorty story and screenwriter. They fell in love. With the help of Dave's dad (also a musician), they encourage Kara to sing and write with them. In 2018 Dave & Kara released their debut album, The Sun Is Out.
Effortlessly blurring genres like alt-country, folk and indie-rock, The Sun Is Out showcases an emotional range that can one minute have you whistling its sweet, rhythmic melodies and the next break your heart with its plaintive yearning. Filled with both wide-eyed wonderment and hard-earned wisdom, the record delivers smart, quirky lyrics that weave touching stories of new love, longing and loss.
