  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Winner of the 2006 Just Plain Folks Novelty Song of the Year Award, Professional Smart Aleck Carla Ulbrich has been compared to the likes of Weird Al, Chet Atkins and a bologna sandwich. A better guitar player than most bologna sandwiches, she has released 5 CDs: Her Fabulous Debut (1999), Professional Smart Aleck (2003) Sick Humor (2004), Leftovers (rare tracks collection, 2009) and Live From Outer Space (2009, recorded live at XM Radio Performance theater). Her songs cover such socially relevant topics as dating for food, the Guinness Book of Records, The F word, Wedgies, and a duet with a Klingon. Her song about the F word was featured in the documentary "F**K" (released Nov. 2006 by Thinkfilm www.fourletterfilm.com). In 2002, Carla suffered two strokes and kidney failure. Undeterred, she re-learned the guitar from scratch that year, spending her many hours in doctors' waiting rooms penning funny parodies about her malady and the absurdity of the health care system. The result was her third CD, "Sick Humor" release in late 2004. The song "What If Your Butt Was Gone," a parody of one of Carla's own songs, won the JPF award and is included on Dr. Demento's 2005 Basement Tapes compilation. Carla is also currently writing a collection of essays on this topic entitled "How Can you Not Laugh at a Time Like This?," to be released in the Spring of 2010 (pub. Tell Me Press www.tellmepress.com). Carla has taught guitar at several colleges, Hummingbird Music Camp, several guitar shops, and the National Guitar Workshop. She tours all over the US (mostly East Coast, but often beyond) and, recently, England, appearing at various folk venues such as The Bluebird Cafe and Eddie's Attic, festivals including Kerrville and Falcon Ridge, concert series, art centers, medical and health care conventions, colleges, numerous radio stations, as well as USA's Up All Night, PAX TV, Sirius XM Satellite, various NPR stations, and the BBC. She has shared the bill with such luminaries as Cheryl Wheeler and Twiggy the Water Skiing Squirrel. Carla Ulbrich is President of the Difficult Last Name Club, likes hummus and gluten-free bread, and plays way too much Boggle. ..........Social Bookmarking.... ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......follow carlaulbrich at http://twitter.com.... <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="CalendarWidget" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab" height="300" width="200"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.sonicbids.com/2/Content/Flex/CalendarWidget.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"> <param name="FlashVars" value="searchHost=www.sonicbids.com&artistID=79865&minDate=2011-01-30&showArtist=false&showVenue=true&showEvent=true&borderColor=#000000&backgroundColor=#FFFFFF&fontFamily=Arial&fontSize=12&fontColor=#000000&linkColor=#128ca8&pageSize=1&mode=items&collapseInfo=true"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <embed src="http://www.sonicbids.com/2/Content/Flex/CalendarWidget.swf" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" name="CalendarWidget" play="true" loop="false" quality="high" flashvars="searchHost=www.sonicbids.com&artistID=79865&minDate=2011-01-30&showArtist=false&showVenue=true&showEvent=true&borderColor=#000000&backgroundColor=#FFFFFF&fontFamily=Arial&fontSize=12&fontColor=#000000&linkColor=#128ca8&pageSize=1&mode=items&collapseInfo=true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" align="middle" height="300" width="200"> </object>

    "let me know how that 666 tattoo works out. i think if you want to repel bible thumpers you may need to put it on your forehead. that should go over well at work too.and with the babes. "

        Hey stranger, I'm deleting the MySpace profile since it not performing as expected. I'll keep FB & Google+ for you & others that actually know me in some way.

        If my butt was gone, I wouldn't be known as "Yard A$$ anymore. I'd lose about 3 feet. Speaking of which, If I lost my pot belly, I could see my feet again.

    This morning I changed the numbers on my Apartment to "666". It ain't Park Avenue, but maybe the Bible Thumpers will get the idea.....or worse, try to Exorcise my Demons they Imagine I have. Only the good die young, so as long as I hang onto my "Badness", I should live Forever and have more fun!  Maybe draw a body outline in Chalk by the front door and crime scene tape, toss a few "Watch Tower" pamphlets around with empty bullet casings?

    You're still prettier and funnier than the "Gospel" version of you. I wonder, if I get a "666" tattoo on the back of my neck, will the Jehovah's witnesses finally leave me alone on Saturday mornings?

    Hey CarlU! I realized since I had the rhythm of a retarded clam, that it is best I combine my music with my comedy. That way when I screw up a song, everyone thinks it was on purpose for a laugh. They'll never know, I really play that badly out of time.

    honestly i have tried but I cannot fix the "music" section of this myspace profile. somehow, other people's music is on my playlist, including a "carla" from Texas who sings gospel. I apologize but I cannot fix this. Try clicking on "featured" - that seems to be mostly me.
