biographical info
Kara Keith is an eclectic singer/songwriter who has formed different bands by different names
at different times in her life. Subsequently she has quit them all. Choosing now to
perform in a band by her own name, Kara Keith realizes it may be the
most difficult one to quit.
Born in Calgary, Keith was active in the indie music scene there until
she accepted a scholarship to attend The Banff Centre for the Arts in
2007/08. After completing an 8 month artist residency in the magic mountains she moved to Montreal, formed a new band; "Your Dignity", and recorded her first full length album "Vision's Fugitives" which was engineered by
grammy nominated producer Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire) and Radwan
Moumneh (Thee Silver Mount Zion, Godspeed You Black Emperor)
