About

Revolution Rock to Inspire!

Rooted in rock and roll, influenced by punk, blues and folk, Carolyn takes the listener on a journey of raw reality, riding on the ebb and flow of electric and acoustic guitars. She writes songs about life and death, tragedy and hope, resistance and survival. Digging deep to reach into her experiences, using music to find balance in a world that can be uncertain, unrelenting and unforgiving. Attitude and tenacity are keys to adapting and thriving. Inspiration is a constant flow of give and take, intertwining through the music, the listener and the musician.

Growing up a stone's throw from Manhattan, Carolyn played all over New York City and the metro area with her alt grunge band Sulkweed, and the blues/punk band she formed and fronted, RAW. She cut her teeth in every rock 'n roll dive, including the legendary CBGB, Bitter End, Kenny's Castaways and Maxwell's (Hoboken, NJ) in the 90's-2000's. Carolyn has played for audiences from Seattle to South Africa and hundreds of places in between. She has shared the stage jamming with the Replacements, and has been reviewed as a 'musical tour de force' in GO! Magazine. Her style echoes shades of Patti Smith, Joe Strummer and Pete Townshend. Sonic beauty and dissonance are ever-present, depending on how she strikes a chord, or rips the violin bow across her strings.

After RAW disbanded, Carolyn spent many years as a side-guitarist (rhythm and lead) for several bands, but in 2019, she decided to delve into her solo music once again, and played a few gigs before the pandemic shutdown.

Carolyn would not allow the pandemic to slow her down, and she went into the studio with platinum selling record producer Barb Morrison, to record her newest material- a 4 song EP, "Loners, Misfits and Rebels". Engineered by Grammy winner Jeremy Kinney, Mixed by Jon Jetter, and Mastered by Grammy winner Ted Jensen, "Loners, Misfits and Rebels" is the fight back against all of the fears, demons and self-doubts that keep us from fulfilling our dreams. It is a celebration of uniqueness and individuality.

This awesome production team brought Carolyn's music and sound to a new level that has both a modern edge and a vintage vibe, while remaining true to her rawness as a performer.

The first single "1000 Angels" was released on October 10, 2022. The full EP was released on November 21, 2022.

They are available for download on iTunes, Amazon Music and streaming on Apple Music, Spotify and most platforms!!

Through her music, Carolyn finds a purpose to inspire people to reach into their own authentic selves to live life to the fullest. "You don't have to be a Monet to paint, or a Scorsese to make films; what you need is passion, vision and tenacity. Don't give up, and don't listen to the naysayers. Just keep going; you will get to where you need to be. Believe in yourself."

Carolyn has been living in Kingston, NY since 2015. Just 90 miles north of NYC, it is an area rich with musical and community-based, Woodstock inspired roots. There are plenty of open spaces to allow creativity and positive living to flow freely.

In 2019, Carolyn was overwhelmed with disgust by the magnitude of ignorance, misogyny, discrimination, transphobia and ineptness coming from the leaders in the US gov't. She wrote this song out of sheer frustration for what was going on. This song was celebrated by many who share her viewpoint, and it traveled half way around the world to find a home in the soon-to-be released documentary "On Resistance Street", a film produced in the UK by Montaj Media. Look out for it in 2023!
