“Intensely contemplative and lyrically precise, Kulpa's music merits close listening but also is perfectly suited for those moments when you just need some sounds that you don't have to think about --just experience. It's what you want to hear when driving down the open road to who knows where or on those lazy Sunday mornings you wish would never give up the ghost to another Monday.”

"soulful songstress...the queen of wanderlust...Kara’s harmonic voice brushes against a sharp edge blade that cuts through her lyrics with a hypnotic overtone." - Heather Corcoran, CoffeehouseTour.com "excellent, unique music from a truly gifted artist" - Reviewer, CDBaby.com "poetic and soulful...a riotously fun time" - Nuvo Newsweekly "intelligent yet unassuming folk music" - Reviewer, CDBaby.com "a sensation at 2005's Midpoint Music Festival" - Cincinnati CityBeat "Kara Kulpa has a charm and personality that make you want to be her best friend" - House Of Abundant Kindness House Concerts "a prodigal like ability to pick up and play any stringed instrument" - The Daily Vidette "a master on the fiddle, mandolin and guitar" - Segment of Society Productions

“When Kara Kulpa isn't out tearing up the Midwest Folk scene (she showcased last year at festivals in Indianapolis and New Orleans and was a sensation at 2005's Midpoint Music Festival), she and duo partner Dave Golden are equally effective in Chicago Folk quartet Mercy Driver. She followed her Any Given Day demo last year with the compelling Incomplete, a live disc. Dig It: Heartfelt Folk roundtable with Patty Griffin, Natalie Merchant and Shawn Colvin. (BB)”

“Midwesterner Kara Kulpa showcases her mountain folk style music in her release, “Any Given Day”. It’s a long, winding road of deeply personal lyrics with an interesting combination of instruments ranging from a mandolin, pie tin, shoehorn and a mountain dulcimer. Bringing a unique experimental sound to her release, Kara’s harmonic voice brushes against a sharp edge blade that cuts through her lyrics with a hypnotic overtone. Pulling up again to address personal loss, heartache and the misunderstandings of love, Kara creates an open invitation to her listeners to join in on her traveling journey of understanding. The opening song, “Grace” quickly levitates this young soulful songstress, giving the listener an earful of purely beautiful, alto singing. She’s the queen of wanderlust with her traveling lyrics and unknown destination journey. This is the CD you want in your player while you drive down a deserted highway at 2 o’clock in the morning.”

“Re: Any Given Day (CD) 5 out of 5 stars Excellent, unique music from a truly gifted artist This CD rings with simple truths, lyrical confessions and questions, statements of fancy and pure wonder, all in a new and unique voice that is a welcome addition to the folk canon. Kara Kulpa finds influence from artists ranging from Natalie Merchant to Donna The Buffalo, but her voice is truly her own ... If you like intelligent yet unassuming folk music, in the aesthetic range of early Leonard Cohen and Simon and Garfunkel--and just as marvelously poetic and individualistic--you would do well to purchase this CD and keep an eye on this vibrant young woman.”
