Carrie Catherine loves telling a good story. Playful and passionate, she mesmerizes audiences with her soulful folk/pop sound and crafted songs. Adding groovy rhythms and brilliant energy to the mix, audiences can’t help but dig into the songs—toes tapping, shoulders swaying.
THE ALBUMS
In 2003, Carrie Catherine released her debut album Out the Car Window which was featured numerous times on television’s "Joan of Arcadia" and "Beautiful People." For her next project, she teamed with John MacArthur Ellis (Jeremy Fisher, The Be Good Tanyas, Barney Bentall) to produce Venus Envy: “arguably the best Saskatchewan independent release of 2005” (Gerry Krochak, Regina Leader Post). Venus Envy playfully honors Carrie’s passion for soul music, and this influence continues to be heard in her album, Green-Eyed Soul. With producer/percussionist Don Kerr (Ron Sexsmith, Rheostatics), Green-Eyed Soul achieves a rootsy, soulful sound and irresistible groove. She’s currently recording her fourth album in Nashville with producer Colin Linden.

I have finally hit the road on a busking tour to raise money for War Child, Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. ... I get most joy in life out of music.”
