Carrie Elkin, Carrie Elkin Band

Carrie Elkin (Guitar,Vocals), Anthony Da Costa (Guitar, vocals), Lindsey Verrill (Bass & Cello).

Carrie toured here earlier in the 2013 with her old friend Sam Baker but she's returning in 2014 with her own band and with a new CD. In 2012 we saw her in Bristol with her life partner, the super talented Danny Schmidt. Carrie has a fantastic voice, she's an ace songwriter and she is one of the warmest human beings you'll ever meet, and she never disappoints.

Carrie Elkin has emerged as one of the defining new voices in the world of Texas singer-songwriters, being celebrated by Texas Music Magazine as one of their artists of the year. She's an artist full of contrast and contradiction. With a voice that's somehow both gritty and pristine, the Austin Chronicle calls it "an earthy combination of strength and compassion... reminiscent of the winsome beauty created by a young Nanci Griffith" while Bob Harris of the BBC throws in comparisons to Patty Griffin and Iris DeMent, and calls her voice "spellbinding from the opening track".
