Colorado-based singer-songwriter Edie Carey is known for her unmistakable, soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, but perhaps most especially for her warm, engaging presence on – and off – stage. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Carey’s wry and often self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend. “Bare of self-pity and full of down-to-earth revelation... a little country, a little adult-contemporary, and a lot of fine music.” - Harp Magazine
Edie has been singing at festivals, colleges, and listening rooms across the US, Canada and Europe since 1999, performing alongside Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlile, and Shawn Colvin. Her co-writes have been recorded by #1 artists Shawn Mullins and Chely Wright. She’s also been a featured artist on PRI’s Mountain Stage. She's appeared at the country's most prestigious folk festivals including Telluride Bluegrass, Rocky Mountain Folks, Newport Folk, 30A Songwriters, and Cayamo. Her duo lullabies project with Sarah Sample garnered several children's music awards, including Best Children’s Album in the 2015 Independent Music Awards, and she was a featured vocalist on Joanie Leeds’ Grammy-Winning Ensemble Album All the Ladies in 2020. Her eleventh album The Veil was released in June of this year.
For this show, Edie’s bringing along her friend, John Standish. John’s a fine keyboard player and a long-time veteran of the Front Range music scene. Those tasty keys you hear in so much of our locally produced music are often John’s. Between Edie’s delicate guitar and John’s sensitive accompaniment, we’re all in for a wonderful evening of folk/Americana music.
Edie’s a world-class talent, and we’re so lucky that she and her family relocated to Colorado Springs just a few years ago. She played our stage just after her move, and our audience really responded to her. She’s the perfect person to headline our last show of 2022, with her warm, storytelling, and engaging stage presence. Don’t miss this show!
