仅几年的时间内，Cara Dillon凭借她震撼人心的表演和成熟迷人的声音赢得了整个国家观众的心，以及其他几个国家的观众，因为她的表演能穿越国界，文化和语言。
她出生于1975年，来自一个爱尔兰传统音乐世家。她的声音如此清透美丽而极具风格，让观众们觉得相间恨晚。用这样一句话来形容Cara Dillon不足为过：Cara Dillon是个不寻常的天才！
14岁的时候，Cara Dillon就赢得了全爱尔兰传统歌唱比赛冠军。在开始她自己喜欢的事业之前，她和她的伙伴sam lakeman和一家唱片公司签约想做流行歌手，可之后他们发现自己并不喜欢做流行音乐。于是他们出了一张凄美的民歌专集Cara Dillon/rough trade records，出乎意料地赢得了广泛好评。这股随之而来的cara dillon效应让她和她的伙伴完全转型。而之后她所获得的无数奖项更加肯定了他们的转型。
《爱尔兰音乐杂志》说，Cara Dillon冷酷却富有感染力的声音包含着她对家乡的热情和对国家的热爱。 Craigie Hill ---这是一首传说中打动了整个爱尔兰的歌曲, 早晨听起此歌, 有一种幸福感在全身洋溢着....
Craigie Hill it being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing, down by yon shady harbour i carelessly did stray, the the thrushes they were warbling, the violets they were charming to view fond lovers talking, a while i did delay. she said, my dear don´t leave me all for another season, though fortune does be pleasing i ´ll go along with you, i ´ll forsake friends and relations and bid this irish nation, and to the bonny bann banks forever i ´ll bid adieu. he said, my dear don´t grieve or yet annoy my patience, you know i love you dearly the more i´m going away, i´m going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation, to comfort us hereafter all in amerika y. then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing, t´will cause them for smile at our late going away, we´ll be happy as queen victoria, all in her greatest glory, we´ll be drinking wine and porter all in amerika y. if you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying, the sight of the lovely bann banks, your sorrow you´d give o´er, or if were down one hour, down in yon shady bower, pleasure would surround you, you´d think on death no more. then fare you well, sweet cragie hills, where often times i´ve roved, i never thought my childhood days i ´d part you any more, now we´re sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion, and the bonny boats are sailing, way down by doorin shore.
