Interview

Kara Cole is familiar with difficult terrain. Cole was a folk hero in Indianapolis and beyond in her folk duo Keller and Cole, but she took time away from music in 2012 because she did not know if sobriety and performing could coincide. With this ode to her grandmother, “Mary Francis,” Cole stakes a claim in what is important to her and how music has remained in her life. Cole got back into the swing of things with her 2023 self-titled solo album and she is readying her EP Firefly, out August 30th.
