Starting her music career at the tender age of five, Carrie Jean Sooter gave her first public performance playing Twinkle, Twinkle, Lilttle Star on the violin. Twenty years & countless performances later, she is still on stage, this time with guitar & music she writes herself. Inspired by ex-boyfriends & working 9-5, Carrie's lyrics take a unique twist on the ordinary:'When you fall on your face/and you feel like such a disgrace/ Hold
your head to the sky/ and laugh out loud, I am alive.'
'Writing music and then singing it for people can be magical,' Carrie said. 'There's something in the air.'
There certainly is. It's a Muscle Shoals mixture of gritty blues, country, & folk with a voice that is pure & hits the notes effortlessly. Carrie Jean Sooter regularly performs at venues throughout New York & Tennessee, including Pete's Candy Store & the Bell Buckle Cafe. She resides in NYC.
