In years past, Jaimoe (Allman Bros drummer) Bill Pound, Jerry Sorn, Liz Melendez, and so many wonderful musicians who lent me their great interpretations on their masterfully played instruments. I have learned by doing, with people who "do" very well :) If I’ve left anyone out, please send me a love note and forgive me!

Listen to "Haul off and Kiss Me" from the Mendicino Music Festival

"Day by Day" also from Mendicino. ..>
InfluencesEmma Lee Ramsey - member of the GA Sea Island Singers, who raised me, and who loved me when no one was looking. Thank goodness for Alan Lomax, who came through the Southern coast, and recorded her in the 1960's, and bringing her salt-of-the-earth voice to the fore, and saving it for generations to come. Bonnie Raitt, for her good works for so many worthwhile causes, for being a kind and thoughtful friend, and of course, for the great music she creates. My mom, who I stood next to in choir, and tried to mimmick her incredibly clear and right-on high soprano during the Hallelujah Chorus... and her slow, sultry "the Look Of Love", and "The Lady Is A Tramp" and "My Funny Valentine", "Pussy Willow, Cattails"...she could croon, she could belt, she could sing. Miss her dry wit and discerning advice. My older brother Harry, for teaching me the first chords on the guitar, and for writing great songs for many years. The Indigo Girls, for teaching me consistancy in performance, and strength of conviction. My inspiration is the muse, and I am drawn to people who hear the muse, and who invite it in for a spell. life. reality. honesty. the beach. the mountains. the road.
Sounds Likethe penniless bloke who wins the lottery; the hitchiker who gets a ride; The muse who comes to visit and decides to rent a room, build a house, plant a garden. ...sounds like home. Come on in, sit a spell, take your shoes off, y'all come back now, ya'hear? You want some sweet tea? How's yer mama'n'em? Listen to "There for Me Guitar" at the 20th Anniversary of the Mendicino Music Festival.

Georgia Music Magazine

Atlanta Magazine calls Caroline BEST ACOUSTIC ARTIST and includes her full page picture next to CURTIS MAYFIELD, GLADYS KNIGHT, THE BLACK CROWS, THE INDIGO GIRLS, INDIARIE, and many more. Blue Suede News says; Caroline tears her 12 string a whole new consciousness.

Nominated for a 2006 GRAMMY for BEST CONTEMPORARY FOLK CD, Performing Songwriter Magazine calls Caroline "THE REAL DEAL" - NOV 05. and picked CA as a top 12 "Do It Yourself" SPOTLIGHT for ARE WE THERE YET MAMA? and picked both independently released "Live Bait," (1995) and "Butler Field," (1997), as well as one of the top 12 DO IT YOURSELF independent CDs!

Caroline expresses her musical talents far and wide, having 35+ YEARS of musical roots planted in every corner and throughout the USA, and an ever-increasing core of fans IN UK, AND EUROPE. She has recorded with and shared stages with THE INDIGO GIRLS AND BONNIE RAITT and has been a guest performer at major venues with them such as San Antonio's MAJESTIC THEATHER, Denvers RED ROCKS, and Berkeleys GREEK THEATHER. Mainstage performances at the KERRVILLE TX's Music Festival (since 95); Seattles BUMBERSHOOT (since 96); FOLK LIFE Festival (since 76!); NY's FALCON RIDGE; Northern California's HIGH SIERRA Music Festival, and many more venues, both nationally and internationally. Radio stations across the country, (WUMB Boston, WUSB Stony Brook, KVMR Grass Valley, KPFA Berkeley, KPFT LA, just to name a few), are playing selections from her latest CD, Are We There Yet, Mama? and from her previous 6 CDS. The CD's are available on CD Baby.

CA embodies the meaning of an independent musician, acting as manager, booking agent, publicist and travel agent, wearing all the hats required to create and make the show happen, in addition to production and mastering, manufacturering, and distribution. She performs solo or with band (often a magical one time gathering of friends, enjoying the moment to play together, (many are recorded_ask for a copy) at festivals, theaters, music series, house concerts, live radio and features in national and international press.

The Coca Cola Awards nominated her as the Best Acoustic Guitar player/vocalist in Atlanta (1993-4). Also she is now endorsed by Martin Guitars and Strings.

Starting on the coast of Georgia with musical influences from Emma Lee Ramsey of the Georgia Sea Island Singers, in 1969, she found herself in NY playing in her first rock band Father Time (whose bass player and founding member, Rich L'Hommedieu, is now the founding director of the Long Island Music Hall Of Fame), then touring in California during the early 70's, followed by performing in South America from 73 -74, to the streets and venues of Seattle in the mid 70's, heading back east to Greenwich Village in the early 80's and finally full circle, back in Atlanta. Since 1986 her base has been Atlanta where she is has received numerous accolades. She opened shows for Bonnie in 1985, and Bonnie performed on Carolines first recording in 1988, Line Of Vision. In 2002 and 2003 Bonnie Raitt introduced Caroline to the Austin and San Antonio scene.

Caroline heard the Indigo Girls in 1980 in an alley behind Good Old Days in Atlanta practicing a CSNY song. When she put a third part harmony on it - they became friends. CA invited them on to her stage when they were 16-17 years old and sang on the Indigo Girls first recording (song-FINLANDIA) and toured with them nationally in 1992 1994 and 1997. In 95, she played four separate roles in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, starring the Indigo Girls.

Caroline is also a talented and gifted teacher and has taught her courses Zen And The Art Of Performance; Songwriting In Your Sleep and Guerilla Guitar Works at many venues, colleges, music stores, festivals, and one on one. She has taught at Summer Songs / CA. Swannanoa Gathering / N.C., South Florida Folk Festival, Lambs Songwriters Retreat / Michigan. Caroline taught in May 2006 at the Schorndorf Guitar Festival.. invited to teach and perform at this prestigious event. The results were so positive that her class for the Shorndorfer Gitarrentaga for MAY 2007 is totally booked and she is offering on line classes for those signed up. Caroline offers private music and performance lessons, counsels on musical direction, tour issues, and contract negotiations, and has the performer/singer/songwriters' interests at heart, steering them to the point of realizing their dreams of great experiences on the stage. carolineaiken@hotmail.com for more info.

Dear Friends,

this is just a quick note to let you know that this is the last chance to get a physical copy of my first album "Pretty Boys and Ugly Girls".

I'm going to release my new album this fall (subscribe to my blog if you want to be informed!) and the first one will then be only available as a download version.

So if you prefer a proper CD - like I do! - a record you can really hold in your hands, with all the artwork and stuff - this is your chance! :-)

Grab your hard copy of "Pretty Boys and Ugly Girls" now on CD Baby while stocks last!
