Caroline Herring - Lantana

Caroline Herring has one of the most unique, haunting voices in Americana music today. With lyrics informed by the literary giants of her native Southland, her 2008 release, Lantana combines a variety of traditional styles, from acoustic folk to bluegrass and old-time country.

Herring's resonant alto voice is a natural match for the brand of music she uses to convey her stories and songs. 'There's a starkness and honesty in Caroline's songs,’ says bluegrass legend Peter Rowan. 'She has a deeply-rooted sense of the South and its history - and of her own childhood and that as history.'

This fine artist draws acclaim from many fellow musicians, including Dar Williams, who calls Herring the 'elusive real thing.'
