Some things are just meant to be. Birds are born to fly, politicians
were born to lie, big fat guys with giant beards were born to ride
their machines without getting hassled by the man, and Carolyn Mark
was born to make music.
Ever since first taking to the stage as Templeton the rat in her
elementary school's musical version of Charlotte's Web, show business
has been the main driving force in Carolyn's life. After coming to
the obvious conclusion that musicians were much more fun to hang
around with than actors, in the early 90's Carolyn formed her first
band... all-girl surfy twang popsters, The Vinaigrettes. This was the
beginning of a love affair with music, musicians and the road that,
even after 15+ years of crazy hard work, still puts the nitro in her
funny car.
After The Vinaigrettes, Carolyn did brief stints in such bands as The
Metronome Cowboys and The Fixin's before, in 2000, making her Mint
Records debut with her first solo album, Party Girl. Since then, and
with the help of a revolving cast of Can-Country super stars
including, but not limited to, Tolan McNeil, Garth Johnson, Ford
Pier, Nathan Tinkham, Corb Lund, NQ Arbuckle, .. Luke
Doucet, Amy Honey, Greg MacDonald, Neko Case and Carey Mercer, she
has released five more highly acclaimed albums. As well, she has also
travelled thousands of miles entertaining crowds of 4 to 4000...
touring Canada, the United States, the UK, Norway and Italy. She has
shared the stage with such talented musicians as Jenny Whitely, Hank
& Lily, Luther Wright, Sarah Harmer, Kelly Hogan, Lederhosen Lucil,
Geoff Berner, Joel Plaskett, The Handsome Family, Neil Hamburger, JT
and The Clouds, The Shiftless Rounders, NQ Arbuckle, Wanda Jackson,
The Waco Brothers, The Sadies and Blue Rodeo.
