Australian-born and Nashville-based Kara Grainger is making her second appearance at the Lithuanian Music Hall, 2715 E. Allegheny Avenue, Philadelphia, PA and fourth overall for the concert series founded by Father Dan Staniskis, originally in New Jersey, over 20 years ago. Kara is a masterful guitarist, specializing in slide guitar - which invites comparisons to Bonnie Raitt, another soulful woman with serious guitar chops - but Kara has her own sound and style, and performs dynamically with her band. Last year she released her fifth solo album, and you can check out her many live shows posted on You Tube. Here is one. Opening the evening's entertainment there will be a set by The Midnight Ramblers, with Father Dan Staniskis, playing in the electric slide guitar mode of Elmore James and others. The night will rock! First set at 7:00 pm, Kara plays at 8:15. $28 for admission (includes welcome back of chips, ice tea, lemonade, water or soda.

Tickets at door, if available, at $ 35.
