Cara Carriveau
Cara has two kids, a 13 year old son and a 21 year old daughter. Her son plays hockey so Cara's life has revolved around the duties of a hockey mom for the past decade. She can tape a hockey stick in record time and can often be found at his home rink running the scoreboard and playing killer tunes during his games. When she's not consumed by hockey you'll likely find her at a rock concert or at home fixing things around her house. She is proficient in installing faucets, dishwasher repair, painting, drywall, installing custom closets and growing an organic garden. But Cara's biggest passion is rock music.

With his influence on rock & roll long since acknowledged, there is little that Alice Cooper hasn’t achieved in his remarkable career, including platinum albums, sold-out tours and any number of honors and career achievement awards.
As he heads back out on the concert trail each year, Cooper insists he’s still motivated to continue touring and recording albums, as well as making time for such side projects as Cooper’stown (his Phoenix-based restaurant/sports bar) and his “Nights With Alice Cooper” nightly radio show, syndicated domestically and worldwide on over 100 stations. |
