9/16: Cary's new album and song "This is a Wonderland" got a nice blog writeup by Yab Yum Music.
Chicago-based Cary Kanno has quite the lighthearted, summertime feel for someone out of the Windy City. “This is Wonderland” combines ukes, banjos, tambourines, shakers and more without over-saturating the sound. Instead, you find a harmonious merging and the effect is effervescent. If you enjoy “This is Wonderful”, I recommend checking out Kanno’s new album, Wonderland, available here.

6/16: Cary's new CD "Wonderland"has officially been released!
Cary: "I've always found it easy to write slow, melancholic songs, or funky songs in a minor key, so I wanted to challenge myself to write songs that were happy, bouncy, major key, musically interesting, had exciting moments, and still sounded good. In the end I wanted an album that I would enjoy listening to. There's alot of ukulele, banjo, piano, and acoustic guitars."
You can get the album here (digital or CD), or at itunes.
