​Happy fall!
Summer made like a rocket ship taking our long days and warm nights replacing them with shorter days, cooler nights, back to school and back to a regular routine.  In the land of CCLL the change of season means HOOTENANNY tickets are now on sale for our Royal Room event AND we've added a Hootenanny on Vashon Island.  Behind the scenes, we've been in the studio working on a new album so without further ado...

IN THE STUDIO...


Carrie Clark and the Lonesome Lovers are officially in the studio and working on our new album with dear friend and Producer, Martin Feveyear! We are still just cutting all of our tracks so details are few, but you can peek in on us from time to time on Instagram or Facebook for photos from the studio. We are really excited about these new songs and can't wait to share them with you.

Thank you for reading all the way to the end, thank you for being on this musical journey with me and wishing you all a beautiful fall into winter full of all things wonderful.

Smooches,
carrie

Happy Summer!
It is finally here! Long days filled with sunshine, swimming, family visits, backyard bbq's, camping, sleepovers, star gazing and day after day of that feeling life is getting out of its routine and the focus is on all things fun. I have so many memories of staying up until the sun went to sleep, playing kick the can with neighbor kids, running through the sprinklers with my sisters, long car rides and rainy summer family vacations. I'm ready for the change of season and the Lonesome Lovers and I are kicking summer off with a family friendly show in Des Moines.  With my latest switchover to a new email system, I'm sending you all a little something of a repeat as there were quite a few people that missed last month's newsletter so let me put the needle on the record and hope you all can hear me this time around...


Short burst of a sparkler...

This Thursday, 6/27 Summer kick off show in Des Moines
Can you hear me now? Old and clunky to new and sparkly

 

The long set of the summer sun...

Summer kick off show in Des Moines, Thursday, June 27
Carrie Clark and the Lonesome Lovers kick summer off at the Quarterdeck in Des Moines this Thursday. New songs to share and donations will go to Des Moines Dollars for Scholars. This family friendly show starts at 7pm and is free for all ages. Rain or shine, we'll be there!
Quarterdeck: 22307 Dock Ave South, Des Moines, WA 


Can you hear me now? Old and clunky to new and sparkly 
My apologies to those who already heard about this change, but quite a few got missed last month so I'm going to do a small repeat.. With the New Year I have a new email system. My old way was old and clunky and finally blew up on me. This one is new and sparkly, but I'm still getting used to it and working out the kinks so let me know if you have feedback. The good news is you can now update your emails, mailing addresses and even add your birthdays! Just scroll to the very bottom of this email and click on  "update your preferences." You can even forward this email to a friend.  Big big thank you hugs to my friend Janna Chan who helped me get this newsletter set up. Thank you thank you Janna!!!

 
Thank you for reading all the way to the end, thank you for being on this musical journey with us and wishing you all a beautiful summer season full of sunshine and sweet memories.

Smooches,
carrie

Happy New Year, Spring has sprung and start Summer with live music!

Hello everyone!
How I have missed all of you! It has been so so long since I sent a proper update, the holidays happened and then there was a New Year and snow and more holidays and just like that, spring has sprung, the flowers are blooming and summer is just about to start knocking on our doors. So much has happened since the end of last year that I thought I better make this easy on all of you and give you the short burst of a sparkler and then the long set of the summer sun....

Old and clunky to new and sparkly 
With the New Year I have a new email system. My old way was old and clunky and finally blew up on me. This one is new and sparkly, but I'm still getting used to it and working out the kinks so let me know if you have feedback or if you are getting this newsletter at the wrong address (or maybe even shouldn't be receiving this at all).   You should be able to update your emails, mailing addresses and now you can even add your birthdays! Big big thank you hugs to my friend Janna Chan who helped me get this newsletter set up and gave me the advice needed to get you all into my new system. Thank you thank you Janna!!!
 
Summer House Concerts 
Summer is quickly approaching and while I'm not booking any summer venue performances, I am available for living room and backyard concerts. This is your chance to have myself and a couple of the Lonesome Lovers perform for just you and your friends in your backyard or living room. Drop me a note if you would like to hear more details.
 
A "few" years ago, my husband threw me a surprise birthday party. I had to work late so we had a late dinner and then I had a place I wanted to have a yummy cocktail and so by the time he had sweetly wrangled me to where my surprise party was being held, we were quite a few hours late. The most amazing thing, not single friend left, got frustrated or called to see where we were. Instead, when we finally walked into the party, our friends had spent the extra time putting together an amazing dance routine for me. It is one of the most memorable birthdays I have ever had and to this day still gives me smiles and happy tears.

Thank you for reading all the way to the end, thank you for being on this musical journey with me and wishing you all a season full of beautiful dancing surprises!

Smooches,

It's time! It's here! Are you ready? Do you have your tickets? Do you have something sparkly or wacky or sweet or sassy or bold or beautiful or just down right funky to wear? Are you ready to get your Hootenanny on and sing-a-long? Lyric sheets have been printed and we have rehearsed so much that our dreams are filled with sugarplums dancing to holiday songs and candy canes are floating out of our ears. I'd say we are ready to get this Hootenanny on!

Thank you all so much for already making this Sweet 16th Holiday Hootenanny a huge success (and thank you DB for reminding us that 16 is sweet)! For those of you still looking for tickets, the 9pm show has advance tickets for sale until Friday night and then there will be tickets available at the door on Saturday. The 4pm and 6:30pm show will have limited tickets available day of show at the door so arrive early for the best chance of getting yours. 

Thank you so so much and looking forward to ringing in the holidays with so many of your sparkling wonderful faces! See you Saturday!

smooches!!

Happy happy happy Fall!
I hope you all are getting into the back to work, back to school, leaves are falling and the weather is rain and sun and wind and sun and rain fall kind of season. My family is adjusting to Ryder in Kindergarten (how did that happen?!) and it's whole new schedule. But we are also enjoying the new families we are meeting and all that he is learning already.

I wanted to give a last minute reminder that tonight, Tuesday, September 18th, Dave, Greg, Rob and I are going to share some brand new sparkly songs with at the North City Wine Bistro in Shoreline. They have delicious food and wine (and whiskey for those who love it like I do) and it's an early, all ages show starting at 7pm so you can be home before it gets too late.

We hope you can join us, it's been so long since we have seen you all, we are really looking forward to seeing as many of your smiling faces as possible.

Summer summer summer summer!
How is it we are in the heat of summer when just a moment ago I was singing holiday songs and celebrating a new year? Well somehow we hopped aboard a 
rocket ship and have been blasted from the cold sparkly holiday time to the warm sunshiny filled summertime.  A lot has happened since our last newsletter and what I am most excited to share with you is that we have a show coming up and we have new songs to share with you!
 
Tuesday, September 18th Dave, Greg, Rob and I are going to share some brand new sparkly songs with you at the North City Wine Bistro in Shoreline. It's been so long since we have had a chance to perform that I am extra excited for this show. It's an early, all ages show starting at 7pm so you can be home early for bedtime. We hope you can join us, it's been so long since we have seen you all, we are really looking forward to seeing as many of your smiling faces as possible.
 
Speaking of seeing as many of you as possible, I've also had folks already asking about the holidays (yes Christmas in August)! And for those of you who REALLY like to plan ahead, our annual Holiday Hootenanny and Sing-a-Long with the Von Piglet Family Players is booked for Saturday, December 8th at The Royal Room in Seattle's Columbia City. Mark your calendars and we will pass along ticket information as soon as it is available.

And lastly, I wanted to pass along links to a couple of beautifully talented musicians that are dear friends of mine. Both are working on putting out new albums and I think you might enjoy their music and may even want to help....

Camille Bloom and I have toured the US and Europe together in the past and she is an amazing performer and songwriter. A folker, a rocker, a ballader and a brazen, she will grab you by the heart and bare her soul with her songs...  https://www.camillebloom.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html
 
Shasta Bree is another amazing songwriter I have known for years and she will woo you with her old time Americana style of folk and country blues. This is her first album and it is going to be gorgeous. Deadline is August 15th.. https://www.gofundme.com/shastabreealbum
 
Wishing you all a beautiful summer. I  have missed you all so much and look forward to seeing more of you starting this fall.
smooches,
carrie
