Album Notes

"Piano chanteuses may be a dime a dozen, but Keith's ferociously compelling songwriting and brash originality prove that she has absolutely no intention of blending in." (Exclaim!, April 2008)

A resident of Montreal, Kara Keith and her band Your Dignity recently recorded their new full-length album Vision's Fugitives at Hotel2Tango with Grammy nominated producer, Howard Bilerman and Radwan Moumneh.
