A musical force equipped with the soulful vocals of Janis and the guitar slinging skills of Stevie Ray, Carolyn Wonderland reaches into the depths of the Texas blues tradition with the wit of a poet. She hits the stage with unmatched presence, a true legend in her time.
She'd grown up the child of a singer in a band and began playing her mother's vintage
Martin guitar when other girls were dressing dolls. She'd gone from being the teenage toast
of her hometown Houston to sleeping in her van in Austin amid heaps of critical acclaim for
fine recordings Alcohol & Salvation, Bloodless Revolution,and most recently, Miss Understood.
Along with the guitar and the multitude of other instruments she learned to play trumpet, accordion, piano, mandolin, lap steel
Wonderland's ability to whistle remains most unusual. Whistling is a uniquely vocal art seldom invoked in modern music, yet it's among the most spectacular talents the human voice possesses.
