With the vocal fire of Patty Griffin and the lyrical rawness of Rickie Lee Jones, Carrie Elkin's songs are, at once, intimate yet universal, naked yet richly adorned.
Arthur Wood of Maverick Magazine says it best.."I have never seen a performer so in love with the act of singing. That's the gospel truth, and from what I've
subsequently learned I'm not the only one to believe or state that. Onstage Elkin was simply a force of nature, offstage her eyes retain an impish 24/7 twinkle." Carrie
was recently chosen as a Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist as well as a finalist for the prestigious NPR show, Mountain Stage. Her home base is Austin,
Texas.

"Elkin presents herself as one of the most accomplished of America's songwriting breed." - Rock & Reel Magazine

"Carrie Elkin's fourth release resounds with a sense of warm, earthy poetry that combines a strong folk/soul framework, her own sweet-toned but characterful vocals and quietly offbeat writing that never seems wilfully eccentric." - Maverick Magazine

"Elkins' mix of trad folk and modern country is so natural, it flies on its own." - Swampland
