Happy April and happy spring!!
I hope you all are enjoying the warmer weather, blue skies and blooming flowers.  My little boy turned one this month and all of a sudden it's just a few days before I leave and start heading south for three weeks of music and fun in the SW!  So, I'm going to get right down to where I'll be performing in the next few weeks. Folks in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Southern Oregon, this is for you and for those of you not in those states,  I'm hoping you would be willing to pass these tour dates along to anyone you know who would like my music.  Word of mouth is the best form of promotion and it all starts with wonderful people like you.

The fine details...
You may notice that I'm performing a LOT of house concerts this tour and I'm so very excited about these particular concerts as they are cozy, intimate and just a fabulous way for me to get to know all of you on a much more personal level.  Most of these house concerts are open to the public, but because they are in someone's home, you must RSVP with me in order to get the details.  If you see a house concert listed near your home that you would like to attend, email me at carrie@carrieclark.com.

May 7th San Diego!  This is my first time performing at Lestat's so please oh please come out and say hello and please spread the word.  I go on first at 9pm so you can still get home early or you can hang out with me to watch the lovely Victoria and Gena.

May 13th Santa Fe!  Who doesn't love the Cowgirl BBQ? Great food, yummy margaritas and Justin Farrin will also be performing and he's wonderful.

  May 14th Flagstaff!  Vino Loco is a new venue for me and I hear it is lovely.  I'm sharing the evening with my friend Jill Cohn who is just lovely so I hope you will join us for an intimate evening of music and wine.

May 15th Prescott!  I LOVE the Raven Cafe and always have a wonderful time performing there and my friend, Jill Cohn, will be performing as well.  You know how good the food is and I love singing to you all at this wonderful venue. I hope to see some familiar faces and of course, please spread the word. 

I better get back to packing!  I adore and appreciate you all so so very much!  Happy almost spring and see you all in just a few weeks!
smooches!

Happy Spring! It seems that just a few days ago it was winter and now without even blinking here we are in spring!  I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the sunshine as it starts to peek it's way out of the clouds and bring it's warmth to the day.  I've been putting in a lot of Momma hours and when I'm not chasing after a newly walking 11 month old, I'm booking my Europe tour for October!  I feel like I need some super-powered-multi-tasking-blasto-mega super hero to keep my head on straight.  I have managed to only lock myself out of the house and my car once (fortunately with baby in my arms, not locked inside) and I've only forgotten to leave the house with non-essential clothing items (i.e. all my bits were covered) so overall I think I am doing pretty well in this new split role of Momma and Musician.    And speaking of a European tour, Dave, Rob and I are so very excited to perform for all of you again.  We are filling dates up fast, but we do have a few dates open that we would LOVE to fill with house concerts.  If you are interested in hosting, please contact me and let's chat soon.  They are so easy and such a wonderfully intimate way to hear and share music with your friends and family.  And if you have a venue you would like us to perform in, please email me the name and I will contact them.
