Premiere: Ghost Caravan “Live Out Loud”

By  | 

Ghost Caravan is a group of collaborators lead by Shaina Silver-Baird, Juliana Iannuzziello, Michelle Faehrmann and Sarah Riegler. Her “ghosts” are what inform the music that Silver-Baird writes. Whether they are the ghosts of specific people, the ghosts of past loves or the ghosts of experience, this caravan of ghosts is the origin of her songs. “My music is still about dark places, but I focus on finding the light, the moment when you realize your own strength and ability to move forward. We want to be proud to share our songs with young women. There are so many voices in the world telling women how to think and feel about themselves. We want to be the voice that celebrates women. We want to empower and uplift people.” On their album and various singles, the group has collaborated with members of Martha and the Muffins, Grand Analog and the Weeknd. Silver-Baird says, “We love creating music with other people. The end result is so much better because of the many points of view, different opinions and experiences that are woven into the song.” The Ghost Caravan live show mixes electronic elements with live instruments creating a sound that is cinematic and invigorating. Silver-Baird elaborates, “We want to continue to push in the direction of personal/poetic lyrics coupled with grand, dramatic tracks. We want to develop the soulful core along with the orchestral element. It’s such an exciting sound–very contemporary and yet derived from something deeper and older. We love how celebratory it is. It’s as if we get to see the world through glasses that make the colours a bit more vibrant and the moments a bit more joyous. And getting to play these songs live with an all-female band is an exciting, powerful experience. Plus, it’s just so damn fun!” The group will be releasing a series of new singles in 2020 starting with “Live Out Loud” on February 14th.
