 Caroline has been playing music since age 10, beginning with the alto saxophone. She took piano lessons for a few years in junior high, and in recent years has begun playing piano again. She played saxophone in her school band throughout high school and college. Caroline studied music at the University of Vermont from 1998-2001, mainly classical and jazz saxophone. In 2004 Caroline began singing and learning guitar.
Caroline’s musical style is greatly varied. She incorporates many genres and instruments into her music, sometimes playing solo and also collaborating with others. Elements of pop, blues, rock, soul, country, and jazz can be heard in her different songs. During her solo shows, she performs original songs on guitar, piano, and voice, also playing harmonica on a few tunes.
Caroline currently is involved with a rotating mix of musical projects. She plays saxophone and sings in Tapis Bleu, an ambient, avant-garde electronic project with multi-instrumentalist Sean Altrui. Loops and samples are used to create several layers of sound, with structure as well as improvisation.
Caroline also collaborates with drummer and multi-instrumentalist Jarmac T. Harvys. In this project, they perform her original songs, with Caroline on guitar and a touch of bass guitar.
 Caroline is a part-time member of Burlington folk outfit The Dwellers, led by Gabrielle Douglas.
Caroline played keyboards and saxophone with Texas/Vermont psychedelic rockers The Cush from 2004-2005, and occasionally joins them onstage for a song or two.
Caroline played in Caz from 2005-2006, a folk-rock group consisting of members of Vermont’s Red Hot Juba. Caroline played saxophone in the Spiel Palast Band, Vermont's own vaudeville cabaret show, in the 2007 and 2008 seasons. This band's music consisted of original songs and some popular show tunes from the 1920's and 1930's. |
