   Carolyn Arends: General Info
Member Since2/13/2006
Band Websitehttp://www.carolynarends.com
Band MembersSpencer Capier (duo partner) Carolyn's partner in musical crime for 15 years. Genius multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, violin), excellent conversationalist, even if he is a little too fond of the limerick and the pun. His own instrumental disc, Plays Well With Others, is stellar, and he's increasingly in demand as a producer.  In my humble opinion, his playing on LOVE WAS HERE FIRST might just be his finest yet.


Roy Salmond (associate producer) Well-known producer, engineer, player of anything with keys, strings, or hittable surfaces, purveryor of Picasso quotes. Roy's been a part of a gazillion records but still approaches each project with passion, focus and a plethora of Picasso quotes. His studio, Whitewater Productions, is Carolyn's favourite place on earth to record music. Did we mention the Picasso quotes?



Adrian Walther (bassist) Once upon a time Adrian toured with Carolyn. Then Carolyn had a baby and took a maternity leave, so Adrian joined All Star United, moved on to various other killer projects, and became the rockstar bassist he is today. But he's still all over Carolyn's records, and if you're really, really lucky you might catch him on the odd live date with Carolyn and Spencer.


Phil Robertson (drummer) Phil is a Vancouver heavy-hitter (literally) who continues to shock and awe us. Plus, he taught us how to identify drum fills as "Pat Boone Debbie Boones" and "Bette Middler Bette Middlers".




Miles Hill (upright bass) After hearing about Miles for years, I finally got a chance to work with him on this project.  Yowza.  He had just returned from a major globehop with Van Morrison, and he was AMAZING.  Plus, he and Phil have been playing together so long they had this weird (but totally awesome) ESP thing going on.
The Sojourners (Gospel Trio) In the "pinch-me-this-can't-be-real" category -- Vancouver-based Gospel trio The Sojourners are featured on 3 tracks on the new project:  STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER, ROLL IT, and SOMETHING OUT OF US.  Wahoo!
InfluencesBeatles, Bach, James Taylor, Rich Mullins, Mark Heard, Pierce Pettis, Shawn Colvin, David Wilcox, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Sheryl Crow, Crowded House, Kim Hill's "Braveheart", Amy Grant's "Lead Me On", Randy Stonehill, Larry Norman, Ben Harper, Sam Phillips, Allison Krauss, Lyle Lovett, Elvis Costello, Steve Bell, Bob Bennett, Billy Crockett, Sarah Masen, later-era Bruce Cockburn (I know, sacrilege to the early-era fans), Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Jack Johnson, CS Lewis, Madeleine L'Engle, Thomas Merton, Frederick Buechner, Malcom Muggeridge, Mark Buchanan, Anne Lamott, Brian McLaren and a whole bunch more ...

What’s All Black But Completely Green? Check out our new Stage Ninja recycled rubber guitar straps.
 
Made in U.S.A. with 100 percent recycled material (Bicycle Inner Tubes, Race Car Tires, and Hemp), these straps provide nearly an 1/8” of “stretchiness” to give the most comfortable feel in the industry while throwing the horns to the environment as well.

Dear Carolyn Arends

Every time that we listen or write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... Something is healing inside...

When we share it with friends... Something is healing all over...

Love can drive... in a simple way... everything

Have a lot of smiles... this weekend...

We are connected

Thanks for the add. May God bless you and hold you close to His heart. Wish you had your song, "This Much I understand" on the song list. Im not sure that is the title but it says something in the song about the Promise of Grace. Love that song.
