HEARTBEAT OF THE WORLD

Using 3 songs written in the time leading up to the pandemic and 7 songs written during the pandemic I am proud to be releasing a new CD in the fall of 2020 called  HEARTBEAT OF THE WORLD.  This project is produced by Calgary producer/recording artist, Aaron Young , who brings his amazing musicianship and harmonies.  I write in a wide range of styles and Aaron brought the exact right beauty, style and emotion to each of the songs.  This CD includes swing, bluegrass, folk story telling, world beat, old time blues and humour.  The main theme of this CD is HOPE!  I believe this CD will give listeners songs to make them laugh, perhaps cry, definitely think and finally connect with a feeling of hopefulness!

FOLK ALLIANCE INTERNATIONAL!! 

I am very excited to be going to New Orleans from January 21 to January 28, 2020.    FAI is an international Folk Music conference!

Carolyn released her first lyric video called BRAND NEW MILE on November 24, 2018!!  

This song encourages us to connect with our body and our world!!  It was written after a fitness/yoga class.  The vocal and guitar were recorded in Calgary.  The cello was recorded in Venezuela, the video was created in Sri Lanka and the final mastering was done in the United States.  Such is the power of new technology!!  Feel free to share this video back out into the world to perhaps bring some peace to people who feel connected to the song!!
