Cary Cooper is a singer songwriter from Texas. She is a 2004 Winner of the NEW FOLK competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival and has been selected as a finalist at several other national festival competitions including, most recently, the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, as well as the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and the Mountain Stage NewSong Festival. She tours most frequently as a duo with her partner, Tom Prasada-Rao. Together they're known as "The Dreamsicles". Her 2005 solo release, Yellow, is garnering high praise and frequent airplay on folk radio all over the world. This is what Mary Post, (Radio DJ at WVUD in Delaware) had to say about Yellow: "Hi Cary- It's like this - I've got a stack of cd's to review for the station and how the hell am I suppose to do that when I can't take your BODACIOUS new CD out of my Cd player??? It's impossible - you have made it impossible to do my job. Thank you for Yellow - for the music, the lyrics, the messages beyond the lyrics, what I extrapolate from the songs and the groove. Thank you for making my job a bitch!!"
She is currently working on a new album to be released in early 2008!!!
