   About Edie Carey
With her warm, graceful voice and her knack for cutting "into a subject...with a diamond-edged blade**," Edie Carey grabs hold of her audiences and doesn't let go until she steps off the stage. While her songs are what first draw listeners in, it's what she says in between that keeps them coming back. Carey's wry and self-mocking humor, coupled with her ability to tell a great story, makes audiences feel as though they have just spent the evening with a very close friend. Given the triple threat of her magnetic stage presence, heart-grabbing songs, and almost unearthly voice, it's no wonder that the word about Carey is traveling fast. Performing Songwriter called her latest release, When I Was Made, "a lovely, shimmering, heart-felt record"; Harp Magazine proclaimed it "bare of self-pity and full of down-to-earth revelation"; Paste declared it "vulnerable and pleasing...rich with humanity and insight," and Country Music Weekly gave it "****(four stars)." Since beginning her rigorous touring schedule in 1999, Carey has performed in rooms such as The Bottom Line and Bowery Ballroom in New York City, The Fillmore in San Francisco, Boston's Somerville Theatre and Club Passim, The Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton, Nashville's Bluebird Cafe, Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles, The Opera House in Toronto, and The Borderline in London. She has also played repeat performances at The Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, The Southern Womyn's Festival, The Houston Women's Festival, and Chicago's Edgewater Days and Market Days. She has shared the stage with artists as varied as Leo Kottke, Ani DiFranco, Jonatha Brooke, Lucy Kaplansky, Patty Larkin, and Sandra Bernhard, and has toured extensively with Melissa Ferrick. Carey's latest recording, When I Was Made, was produced by Evan Brubaker (Holly Figueroa, David LaMotte) and Troy Glessner at Spectre Studios in Tacoma, WA. Featuring acclaimed Seattle-based musicians Jonathan Kingham, Skip Peri, Dan Tyack, and Julie Wolf (Ani DiFranco), When I Was Made was released in January 2004. Edie's previous albums, Come Close, Call Me Home, and The Falling Places were released to critical acclaim in 2002, 2000, and 1998, respectively. **WUMB-FM, Boston We are thrilled to announce that Edie will be joining comedians Suzanne Westenhoefer and Erin Foley, singer-songriter Jen Foster, and many more great artists on Sweet's inaugural Caribbean cruise on November 8th-15th, 2009. Sweet is a lovely new travel company with a twist. "Merging the best of lesbian travel with social and environmental awareness, Sweet aims to make the world a better place while having a blast in it." Enter to win a Sweet Caribbean Cruise for two!

Hi Edie!!! I've just updated my myspace so if you get a chance to see it, I really hope you like it! I'm planning on playing sometime soon in Portland, which is exciting, nothing big just an open mic kind of deal, I think I'll try for evening star! I hope you're well. Just a note to say hello really and to tell you that as soon as I graduate this spring I'll be heading back to Chicago to try playing music for a living! Yikes! and YAY! Thanks for being such an inspiration as always. Take care!
Love Emily
