Carla Gover plays clawhammer banjo, guitar & piano, writes songs, clogs, and is an aspiring Appalachian Diva. She is from the Eastern Kentucky coal town of Whitesburg, Kentucky, where she grew up idolizing her grandmother, Emmylou Harris, and Loretta Lynn. She has never had a "legit" job, having roamed the country playing music and dancing since graduating from The University of Kentucky in 1995 with a degree in Appalachian Studies. Currently, she is performing as a solo artist and as a trio with Daphne Fields and Diane Timmons. She is a winner of the Kerrville New Folk Contest for 2007 and the Flatrock Music Festival Song Contest 2007. She just completed a traditional music fellowship in the Special Collections of Berea College, and is currently writing songs on commission.
In her spare time, she likes to drink coffee, read Douglas Adams and Robert Heinlein, dance, play Bach on the piano, listen to scratchy old field recordings, study evolutionary biology, raise a garden, and kiss.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
