Kara Connolly is an award-nominated singer and songwriter found on the 2020 Grammy ballot with music featured in Lionsgate films, IKEA commercials, ABC ads, Showtime, Netflix, and HBO shows, as well as tastemaker publications such as Rolling Stone India, SPIN Magazine, Wonderland, and more. She's been nominated for three Hollywood Music in Media Awards, was one of Music Connection Magazine's Top Unsigned Artists of the Year, and is excited to hit The Troubadour stage in celebration of the release of her sophomore album, "California Queen." Kara is here to inspire you to live life by your own rules, and she’s doing so in the way she knows best––creating infectious pop songs that blend memorable hooks, high energy vocals, dreamy guitars, lush landscapes, and bold lyrics that simultaneously elicit wisdom while examining her innermost thoughts and fears. When she's not selling out iconic venues like the Hotel Cafe and Peppermint Club, Kara is a working SAG-AFTRA actress in Los Angeles, passionate storyteller, and lifelong animal lover.
