About the artist
“A high energy performer with a powerful voice and a way with a song hook and a melody. Her shows are varied and engaging!”
CAROLYN HARLEY Solo artist. I love working in song circles and as a solo artist with guitar, original songs and stories.
THE CAROLYN HARLEY TRIO. I have a trio with Joe Harley on bass and multi-instrumentalist Steve Goodchild. We do a wide range of styles with interesting combinations of instruments and harmony. The trio includes electric bass, rhythm guitar, banjo, mando, resonator and acoustic 9-string guitar.
GRANDMA BUSKER I have also created a sideline as a solo performer as 'Grandma Busker'. I have fallen in love with this form of street performance and have a wonderful battery Bose system and head mic. I performed all summer in 2019 on Steven Avenue Mall and at the East Village last year.
I believe in working closely with venues to encourage my fans to attend my events.
I am a recording artist, songwriter and entertainer. My latest CD, Heartbeat of the World, was nominated for Folk Recording of the Year for the YYC Music Awards for 2021.
I am booked to perform in the fall of 2022 at the Calgary Folk Club.
I released my album in Canada and Europe and it is receiving airplay in Canada on CKUA, CBC and university stations as well as airplay in Europe.
I am a strong vocalist and people often say "I could listen to you sing all night". My shows are all original material with an average of 70% uptempo and 30% ballad/story songs.
My music appeals to all ages from youth on up through seniors. My styles include Americana, swing, blues, folk, rock-a-billy, classic country, country rock, easy listening jazz, humour and audience participation.
