Kara Coen & Ashley Welsh Jones - a funky duo likened to Angus & Julia Stone meets Amy Winehouse. Karas dynamic, power house voice with Ash’s delicious drum beats and sweet harmonies, these two leave the heart pumping with a message of love, empowerment and inclusion.
Kara has been called a modern Aretha, compared to Lana Del Ray, Janis Joplin and Sarah Blasko. The soul singer has performed as a support act with the likes of Tex Perkins, Alex Lloyd and Sam Buckingham and is a local south east favourite.
Ashley has been performing on the far south coast for over 6 years with multiple bands and artists. Her passion for music and drumming started early in high school and has quickly evolved as she is now seen regularly playing with many local artists including Howlin' Mitch, Kara Coen and Richard Cooke.
The two artists came together over their mutual love of music, being musicians living with a disability and a passion for equality. Many of their songs reflect personal experiences of this fight for equality, all threaded with a sense of hope. The two have been playing together in Kara’s band The FireFlies for two years and are currently working on their first EP.
Together they will sweep you away and take you on a soulful journey, original tunes and songs through the eras to pluck at your heart strings.
Don’t miss this dynamic duo.
