“...great songs to hear on a jukebox in a David Lynch film just before an FBI agent comes in to investigate the murder of a torch singer.” Chris Estey - three imaginary girls astropop
“If Margo Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies and Merle Haggard had a baby, she would have grown up to be Carrie Clark….Clark and company have crafted songs that explore and even celebrate humanity—all the while hinting at the darkness that lurks just beneath the surface of the civilized.” Mare Wakefield, Performing Songwriter
“Seems So Civilized, the new album by Clark and her band, the Lonesome Lovers, bears the stamp of her active mind and homegrown aesthetic. Drawing on classic country, blues, jazz, and cabaret, she proves as refreshing yet tricky to pin down as Nellie McKay.” Kurt B. Reighley, The Stranger
“Clark's been wooing Seattle crowds with her superb voice -- both playful and brooding for over ten years now. Backed by her band, The Lonesome Lovers, things seem to be coming together beautifully for Miss Clark; her new album, Seems So Civilized, produced by Darryl Neudorf (Neko Case, Kinnie Starr, The Sadies, The New Pornographers) is simply magnificent. Jack Hollenbach, SeattleST
Throughout her ten years in the Seattle music scene, Carrie Clark has simply been known as, well, Carrie Clark. Even with her band in tow, she was always, simply Carrie Clark. If you think about it, it sounds lonesome. So Clark has decided to share the lonesomeness with band mates Dayna Smith on bass and Greg Fulton on guitar, by dubbing them The Lonesome Lovers. Hopefully, everyone will be happier now. John Ginn - Eugene Weekly
Carrie Clark and the Lonesome Lovers set themselves apart from the NW music scene with their last release, "Seems So Civilized," which helped launch them onto stages in San Francisco, Austin, New York, Albuquerque, Nashville, Phoenix, Boston and LA as well as internationally in Belgium, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. Consistent radio play and a large local following have also garnered them spots in the most renowned venues in Seattle; the Triple Door, Neumos, Sunset Tavern and the Tractor Tavern. Having shared the stage with international acts from Basia Bulat, Vagabond Opera and Laura Veirs to Al Stewart, the band revels in delivering live shows that are captivating, engaging and adored by fans and media alike. Alone, Carrie delivers incredibly dynamic alt-country tunes with a hint of nostalgia performing both on guitar and piano.
Over the past twelve years, singer-songwriter Carrie Clark has become a versatile and well respected tour de force in the Seattle music scene, charming audiences with a winsome stage presence and a rangy delicate voice that travels from power to tenderness in one breath. Her third independent release, "Seems So Civilized," features her backing band, the Lonesome Lovers, and production by Toronto's, Darryl Neudorf (Neko Case, the Sadies). "Seems So Civilized" is currently receiving national and international radio play and has been featured on NPR. On this album, Carrie can be found winding her way through an intriguing set of country, blues and cabaret, displaying a mix of strength and fragility familiar to listeners of her earlier albums, "Release the Butterfly" and "Reverie," while reaching for new horizons of musical growth.
An Oregon native brought up on Willie Nelson, Crystal Gayle and Johnny Cash records, Carrie immersed herself in music at an early age, teaching herself piano and guitar. Her liberal use of diverse musical sounds from country twang to vaudeville swing is unsurprising coming from a singer whose wide-ranging background includes membership in a Belle-and-Sebastian-esque pop band, a folk duo, a reggae band and a big band ensemble.
Carrie Clark and the Lonesome Lovers are currently performing regularly along the west coast and will be recording her fourth album in early 2010. Carrie recently partnered with Director, Sue Corcoran of Von Piglet Productions, for her first music video of her song, "Home is...". More information about her upcoming CD, latest music video and upcoming tour dates are available online at www.carrieclark.com.
Carrie's CDs are available on CDBaby.com as well as digitally on iTunes.
