Vancouver's Ora Cogan to Play at Cafe Racer In Support of Forthcoming LP 'Crickets'

Ora Cogan's versatile, haunted voice opens up a mystical reality; hallowed, forlorn and full of promise. She combines the intricate guitar picking of Americana with grunge and psychedelic dreamscapes, drawing comparisons to 70's folk legend Karen Dalton. As a performer, Ora has shared the stage with the likes of Grouper & Hope Sandoval while touring extensively in North America, Europe and the UK.

Check out "Ground and Grave," from her 2016 release 'Shadowland'

Ora's new album, Shadowland, was released on Hidden City Records and Beacon Sound in 2016. A co-production with Trish Klein from The Be Good Tanyas, Shadowland sees Ora's stunning voice set in an intriguing realm of electric guitar, vintage keyboards, and hypnotic drums.

Ora became a part of Vancouver's eclectic music community at 19, collaborating with a multitude of artists who participated in trendsetting improvisation events Fake Jazz Wednesdays & Her Jazz Noise Collective. Cogan has released six full-length recordings to date and has played numerous festivals including Vancouver Folk Festival, The Festival of Endless Gratitude in Copenhagen and Torstraßen Festival in Berlin.

Her forthcoming LP, 'Crickets' will be released later this year, and she will be touring throughout 2017 with her band.
