I'm excited to be attending this international folk music conference as part of the Alberta Room. What an opportunity to experience New Orleans, meet folk musicians from far and wide and showcase my songs!! Not bad for a Late Bloomer!!
“Carolyn Harley is a captivating singer and prolific songwriter, with an expressive voice that draws the listener in to her stories. The well-chosen members of her band The Davidsons each bring their own tasteful touches to the music. We really didn't want her set to end, and I'm sure she'll be back on our stage! ”
