"One of those voices that gives you chills… she makes people feel something"
— Barbara King, Calgary Concert Opera Company
“I’ve known Cara McLeod for a long time, and every time I hear her sing, I’m blown away all over again.
She has one of those voices that gives you chills—in the best way. Whether she’s belting out a powerful opera aria or slipping into something smooth and jazzy, she sings with so much heart and soul, it’s impossible not to be moved.
What amazes me most is how natural it all seems for her. She can fill a concert hall with her voice one night and then turn around and sing a jazz set that feels cozy and personal the next, and somehow, both feel completely ‘her.’
There’s no pretense - just real, honest music coming from someone who clearly loves what she does. Cara is one of the warmest, most genuine and positive people I know, and that energy comes through in every performance. She makes people feel something, and that’s a rare gift.
If you ever get the chance to hear Cara sing—take it. You’ll be glad you did.”
"Her vocal chops are matched by her wit"
— Todd Crawshaw, Yardbird Suite
“Cara’s first appearance on the Yardbird Suite stage, early in 2025, was as compelling as it was popular. She created a new and unique performance to give what became a sold-out audience a memorable night. For her efforts, she received a standing ovation, and an immediate commitment to book her back next season.”
