Welsh Based Artist Cara Hammond has unveiled a new video for acclaimed new single ‘America’ and announced her Debut UK Tour which will be in November. Support on the tour comes from Rebecca Hurn.
‘America’ is Cara Hammond‘s second self produced single of 2023, following a string of successful festival appearences including Usk’s Green Man Festival, ‘America’ has so far been supported by John Kennedy, Xposure on Radio X, Huw Stephens announced ‘America’ as his Track Of The Week on BBC Radio Wales, and Adam Walton on BBC Introducing in Wales.
Influenced by Lana Del Rey and Fleetwood Mac, America is a summer anthem about what happens after the American dream. Country guitar slides, gospel organ and 60s girl group harmonies blend together in creating a classic Americana sound that slowly disintegrates via harmonic shifts.
“I wrote America after returning from showcasing at SXSW 2022. At the beginning of 2022 I’d been dropped by my label & left my management, so when I was invited toplay this huge festival in Austin, Texas, I couldn’t have been happier.”
“I spent all my time practicing, planning and emailing industry in the lead up that I didn’t give anything else much thought. SXSW was a dream so when it ended, I landed home with a bump. The weeks after that I felt very lost and unsure what mynext step was. Luckily songwriting held the answer and America was born on a rainyday in Dolgellau, North Wales.”
