Carolyn Martin Band
Singer Carolyn Martin has been described as " a winning throwback to the days where emotion was measured and artful rather than loud and histrionic." From European concert halls to intimate venues at home in Nashville, fans have come to know Carolyn as a vocalist with a unique sense of musical style, a charismatic stage presence and a voice that exudes passion and experience the soulful elegance that is the very essence of music.
Carolyn is a Texas born, Nashville based swing singer and member of the Texas Western Swing Hall Of Fame. She was inducted into the Northwest Western Swing Music Society's Hall of Fame in 2014 and will join the Western Swing Society of the Southwest's Hall of Fame in 2015. In 2014, the Cowtown Society of Western Music named Carolyn a "Hero of Western Swing", and Carolyn was the recipient of the Academy of Western Artists' Will Rogers award as the Western Swing Female Vocalist of the Year in 2008, 2010, and 2014.
Carolyn Martin has been described as "an astonishing singer", "a remarkable voice", a "singing sensation" and as "one of the finest western swing singers in the business, the dreamy-voiced Carolyn Martin." The Riders In The Sky's Ranger Doug says, "I have grown increasingly in awe of Carolyn's talent: her taste, her musical sensibility, the thoughtfulness and care she brings to every line of every song she sings," and Vince Gill says simply, "Carolyn Martin is a great swing singer." From her early days playing Texas dance halls and honky-tonks through 11 years she spent as a member of the Grammy nominated Time Jumpers to her current tours with Carolyn Martin's Swing Band, Carolyn's live shows have always aimed to deliver what Ft. Worth Magazine called "a jaw dropping performance."
Carolyn's recordings have won accolades among them, Western Swing Album of the Year and Western Swing Song of the Year. Each of Carolyn's last four CD's spent months at the top of Western Way Magazine's Western Swing Chart.
Carolyn's latest CD, "A Platter Of Brownies: The Music of Milton Brown" pays homage to the Father of Western Swing, Milton Brown. Brown, along with his band the Musical Brownies, was a seminal figure in the development of what we now know as western swing. "A Platter of Brownies" was recently named the Western Swing Song of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists.
