Underground singer-songwriter legend Caroline Aiken brings bluesy vocals and a masterful guitar to bear on songs ranging from the poignant to the brash and rollicking, creating an unflinchingly honest, unabashedly sensual brand of folk where blues, country, and rock elements coexist. In the emotional depth and earthy textures of her music can be heard echoes of the Georgia Sea Islands where she was born and raised, and where her earliest musical influences were members of a local spiritual singing group, the Sea Island Singers. Caroline began her professional musical career in the mid-seventies as a street singer in Seattle, relocating to Greenwich Village before settling in Altanta, Georgia. Her songs, carefully balanced between sensitivity and power, and full of truths that only the road can teach, have been featured on five self-produced albums, most recently last year's Unshaken.
