Kinvara's musical journey unfolds across three distinctive CDs, each marking a significant chapter in the band's evolution. The debut, "Kinvara" (2007), recorded at Mississippi Studios in Portland Oregon with sound engineer Jonathan Newsome. It captures the essence of their early years, presenting five songs and eight traditional tunes, showcasing the band's initial foray into the world of recording.

The 2014 release, "Don't Mind the Rain," recorded at Fresh Tracks Studio with sound engineer Jon Lindahl, signifies a pivotal shift. With 15 cuts, including their first original composition, the band recognized the power of songs in connecting with audiences, igniting a new chapter in their musical narrative. This album also introduced more of Grant's strong and captivating singing voice.

In 2023, "Confluence," the third CD, reflects 22 years of growth and collaboration. Recorded at Hallowed Halls Studio with sound engineer Justin Phelps, the album showcases Kinvara's refined blend of instruments and voices. With intentional arrangements merging instrumental tunes and songs, the band includes some challenging tunes, demonstrating heightened proficiency. The inclusion of songs like "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" and the viral sea shanty "The Wellerman" highlights Kinvara's ability to embrace diverse styles. "Confluence" is a testament to the band's progression- stepping out, stepping up, and embracing the joy and challenge of creating music to share with their community.
