Kara Grainger

UPDATED LOCATION AS OF 08/21/23: Due to extreme temps this coming Thursday, August 24, we will be moving the concert to The Stern Center in Rock Island.

MVBS.org and the City of Rock Island have partnered for a Summer Concert Series. Originally from Australia, Kara Grainger has made a name for herself in the American blues scene with her unique blend of soulful ballads, gritty blues, and funky grooves. Kara has released multiple albums, toured extensively, and collaborated with some of the most respected names in the industry.

Kara’s music is a force to be reckoned with, featuring a potent mix of old-school blues traditions and modern-day flair. Her fearless and innovative approach to the blues has earned her a reputation as one of the most exciting artists in the scene. With inspiration from legends like Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, and Jimi Hendrix, Kara has created a sound that is all her own. Check out her song “Favorite Sin”, and we’ll see you at the show’s new location at The Stern Center in Rock Island on August 24 at 7:00PM!
