This album shows Caera's growth since her first albums in 2004, as a songwriter, composer, arranger, and harper. It features songs about Caera's personal experiences, including child abuse and other domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness, family alcoholism, and other potent issues in the lives of many people. It also features songs from Caera's spiritual side, which are not specific to any one religion, but show the strength to move through these issues and see the beauty available in life.

An artistic response to hidden violence.

Many, many people today live with various forms of violence. The most common are not sensational, public forms of violence people may hear about in the news, movies, or tv, but the hidden ones – domestic violence, poverty, child abuse and neglect -- forms of violence whose victims are often politically powerless, who can easily be silenced and swept away so everyone else can go on with their relatively comfortable lives. Victims of such violence are often further undermined by being blamed, silenced, isolated, and blocked from being able to do anything effective about it.

Got Voice?
You are not alone. You are not the only one.

For years Caera has been trying to reclaim the language and music of her Irish heritage. Now with her fifth album, “Éist le mo Scéal (Listen to my Story)” she puts forward all of her personal inheritance – child abuse, sexual assault, poverty, homelessness, and alcoholism – with the language and music that she holds so precious.

There is hope. There is healing.

As Caera was healing through these issues herself, she was very moved by the spiritually open and healing music of Enya, Clannad, and Loreena McKennitt, as well as the open, honest, and powerful songwriting of Ani DiFranco, Tori Amos, and Suzanne Vega. With this album, she has brought together the strength to write about these issues with the healing that music and spirituality can provide.

Awaken your spirit, your passions.
Awaken your own inner strength and your own power to heal.

Some of these songs may make you uncomfortable, they may move you through the grief of your own losses, but they may build you up with the strength to move on, soothe the pain of loss and loneliness, and replace anguish and despair with peace and hope.

There is inspiration.

“Éist le mo Scéal (Listen to my Story)” attempts to make something beautiful out of the ugliness of violence and trauma, and transform temporary weaknesses into lifelong strengths.

Wake the Dragon contains Caera's first recording project as part of the band Môr Gwyddelig.
This album contains historical, traditional, and original music, in Welsh,
Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Middle French (circa 1555), as well as English.
Original songs are in Welsh and English. Full lyrics, translations, and notes for each song are included in the packaging. All songs were recorded live and acoustic, with one or two voices accompanied by Celtic harps.

Môr Gwyddelig, pronounced "MOR wee-THEY-lig", is the Welsh-language name for the Irish Sea -- the body of water which stretches from the Hebrides to Tintagel, and from Wales to Ireland. The band Môr Gwyddelig consists of two members: Myra Hope Bobbitt, a Welsh-American who writes in English and Welsh and plays a nylon-strung Celtic folk harp; and Caera Aislingeach, a Scottish- and Irish-American who sings in all three Gaelic languages (Irish, Scottish, and Manx), and plays a clairseach, a brass-strung medieval-style Gaelic harp. Together they have recorded and played medieval European music, traditional Celtic music from almost all of the Celtic nations, and original music they have both written, in Welsh and Irish as well as in English.
