Carolyn Harley is a  

dynamic performer 

who loves being on stage and interacting with her audience.  She believes in writing songs that matter and songs that connect.   

Whether she is on stage with her full band, with her trio, as part of a duo, or as a solo artist, her objective is always to connect with the people who came to hear her music.   

Carolyn has spent a career of study and effort to create a body of work that is well crafted, varied, entertaining and thought provoking.   

Her songs have been recorded by a wide variety of artists including Cajun, bluegrass, roots and classic country artists.   

Through the years of writing, Carolyn has crafted her songs and her voice to fit different song styles and moods.  As a result Carolyn has developed a versatile voice that is strong in the lower register when she is singing her blues, rock-a-billy or swing tunes.   Other songs require a true higher range to fit her folk, jazz, bluegrass or pop songs.   

Carolyn’s voice has often been likened to Patsy Cline, but also to Alison Krauss and Bonnie Raitt depending on the style of song.  This makes for an interesting evening that constantly draws the audience back to full attention.   

Using a catalogue of over 500 original songs, Carolyn creates her set lists with a wide variety of up-tempo songs interspersed with ballads and poignant story songs.   

Whether performing for a dance; a festival; a concert or for a house concert Carolyn is always looking to give the audience variety, humour, and insight into life.  Invariably during the course of the evening there will be laughter, tears, heads nodding in agreement and toes tapping in time.   

People go home with a bounce in their step and a sense of renewed energy.
