Caroline Herring is one of the South’s most distinctive singer/songwriters. Featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion, Caroline has been performing for over fifteen years and has produced seven award-winning albums. Mary Chapin Carpenter, who sings on Caroline’s album Camilla, had this to say about Caroline: “As a singer, Caroline Herring’s deeply beautiful voice sets her apart. And her songwriting is just as distinctive…As a witness, a historian, a truth teller, a gypsy, a mother, a sister, a lover, Herring takes the listener on a journey with her head and her heart, and there is no more enlightening experience one could have.” Caroline has played at Newport Folk Festival, Bumbershoot in Seattle, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Merlefest, Strawberry Music Festival in California, and at festivals in Denmark, Ireland, England, Scotland and The Netherlands. Caroline co-founded Thacker Mountain Radio, a 15-years running live audience radio show in Oxford, Mississippi, and was the only American asked to participate in the prestigious Cecil Sharp Project in the UK in 2011.  Caroline’s latest release is Camilla, and her latest children’s release is I Will Go Into The Day.
