Around that time she also started a solo project with Dan Workman (producer/sound engineer/president) at SugarHill Recording Studios. Her first show with the Cari Quoyeser Band (Rebecca Laird on lead guitar, Alex Erhardt on drums, Owen Schwartzbard on keyboard, and Julia Alsaraff on bass and back-up vocals) was at Fitzgerald's in Houston on June 25, 2010. After Julia and Owen left for college in August, Anthony Russell and Jonathan Lee Chan joined to play bass and violin, respectively. Both with a band and as a solo artist Cari has performed in numerous venues around central and southeast Texas. She was on NPR's Soundcheck〔(NPR Soundcheck interview )〕 with Ben Folds, was a singer with the Houston Texans cheerleaders, and sang at the 2011 NFL draft party.〔()〕 She has played at the SXSW Music festival.〔(Photo from SXSW )〕 Cari competed on American Idol (season 11) in an episode which aired in January 2012. Once back in Texas Cari transferred to the University of Texas and graduated in December 2013. In May 2014 she left for a six month trip to explore Europe and Israel. While there she busked and played concerts in Holland as well as the Fete de la Musique in southern France. Since returning home Cary has been writing and preparing to record her next album, Backpackers. Cari currently lives in Austin and plays around the area regularly, either solo or with Rebecca Laird or other local musicians. She played several times during the 2015 Heart of Texas Rockfest〔(Heart of Texas Rockfest )〕- a showcase for unsigned local artists during SXSW. Immediately after SXSW 2015 Cari headed back into the studio to record Backpackers. Many of the songs were inspired by her recent travels. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cari Q」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
