    Individual Bio

    Carrie Newcomer first gained attention singing and writing in the folk band Stone Soup. She uses styles other than folk, such as jazz, blues and rock. Her solo career consists of albums like Visions and Dreams (1991), An Angel at My Shoulder (1994), The Bird or the Wing (1995) and 2000's The Age Of Possibility. Hoping to be an inspiration for young songwriters, she became an artist in residence at several colleges. She learned a lot from working with students, and when she stepped back into the studio for 2002's The Gathering of Spirits, she displayed a maturity not seen in her work up to that point. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
