- Kara’s musical journey started
at an early age. She identifies the euphonium (a brass instrument
related to the tuba) as her first (and until recently, primary)
instrument and often wonders where her life would be now if she
majored on the instrument in college instead of environmental studies.
Music h
 as been a constant part of her life, and before coming to
Maine she played euphonium and trombone with the West
Michigan Concert Winds (a community symphonic band in her hometown).
Never content to play just one instrument, Kara also performs on
the highland bagpipes (a piper now of seven years), Celtic whistle
and flute, bodhran (the Irish drum) and guitar (just enough to sing
by!). Back in her home state, Kara played with the Glen
Erin Pipes and Drums, the Muskegon
Police Pipes and Drums, The Wild Geese (a Celtic trio), and
the musicians at Fenian’s
Irish Pub (where she learned to play the whistle from a group
of fun-loving musicians). Here in Maine, Kara plays whistle and
does a bit of singing and guitar playing with the Black Socks String
Band.
