More info on Caroline:
Years of constant touring/performing, beginning in 1969 in NY, California, South America, Seattle- NW and Europe, Caroline Aiken moved back to her birth town of Atlanta, GA, in the early 80's, (opening for acts Arlo Guthrie, Muddy Waters, Doc Watson, Randy Newman, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, 38 Special, Beach Boys, Janis Ian, Richie Havens...), where her bluesy voice, masterful finger picking guitar style and hypnotizing stage presence anchored the city's acoustic and folk scene, influencing up and coming artists whom she took under her wing, including Indigo Girls and Shawn Mullins.
She releases her music independently, tours incessantly, and teaches workshops: "ZEN and the ART of PERFORMANCE", "Song Writing In Your Sleep" and "Guerilla Guitar Works", lifting up her students to professional status.
Aiken brought the Atlanta Dogwood Festival to its national standing during her tenure as Entertainment Director for 12 years (93-05),
Now touring to promote her 8th and newest recording, "WELCOME HOME" found here: www.carolineaiken.com
