Tom Prasada-Rao & Cary Cooper January 20, 2012

Tom Prasada-Rao is a singer-songwriter of breathtaking vision. His voice belies his musicianship and his extraordinary songs. From Rishi’s Garden with its homage to Ravi Shankar to the groove of Sleeping Beauty, Tom’s music is melodic, ambitious, and reverent. Since the fall of 2007 Tom has been on hiatus from touring - staying home, producing records, raising two stepdaughters, and walking one rather large Golden Doodle named Thurman. In addition to producing, he’s a teacher, currently at White Rock Montessori in Dallas, formerly of The University of Virginia’s Young Writer’s Workshops - where he created the songwriting curriculum and taught for eight years. He moved to Texas in 2003 and is married to singer-songwriter Cary Cooper.
Cary Cooper has been working. And it’s showing in every career move she makes. Cary picked up the ukelele in the summer of 2010 and it blew open the door to a brand new batch of songs that are featured on her new CD, Pink Umbrella. Produced by Jagoda & husband Tom Prasada-Rao, the album is light and whimsical in nature, reflecting what makes Cary stand out in a crowd. For the bulk of her career as a performing songwriter, Cary has toured with her husband, first as the duo, The Dreamsicles, and more recently as solo artists sharing shows. 2011 marks the year that Cary will begin to tour primarily as her own solo act. You won’t want to miss this rising star.
