…sounds very similar to Lucinda. TNT and I walked into Eddie’s Attic the other night, with Caroline Herring playing in the background, and I mistook her for Lucinda.
From Caroline’s website, a reference to Lucinda, in regards to a 2008 release:
Lantana
Produced by Rich Brotherton and Caroline Herring“Crafted with timeless elegance and graceful confidence, Caroline Herring’s Lantana is the best modern Southern Gothic since Lucinda Williams’ Sweet Old World.”…Margaret Moser, Austin Chronicle

TNT, she is making an Eddie’s Attic appearance, however, it’s a charity event with a high end ticket price, with two additonal artists. Her website, though, has the Eddie’s Attic appearance listed as two shows. You may want to check it out.
Caroline’s music is great Lafayette.
Here she is singing “Song for Fay” from guess where?
Eddie’s Attic back in December, 2007.

Speaking of hearing Caroline Herring at Eddie’s Attic, I just bought tickets to see her perform there on April 15th. I can’t wait!

We saw Caroline Herring at Eddie’s Attic last night, and it was truly a magical evening at “The Attic”. Caroline was superb, as was the rest of her quartet (Charles Williams on guitar, Kris Dale on upright bass and Marla Feeney on violin and saxophone), who were quite the accomplished musicians (especially Maria Feeney whose violin playing blew me away; she also provided wonderfully harmonizing accompanying vocals to Caroline).
Caroline was charming & engaging from the stage, telling great stories and providing colorful background to most of the songs she played. She talked at length about a project she worked on in the UK related to Cecil Sharp’s recording (not audible recording, but by hand) old English-style folk songs in Appalachia in the 1910’s. And, she played three songs she & other musicians (all the rest were from the UK, except one other from Canada) recorded during this project.
She also played two songs from her special children’s concert setlist that she is performing in full for two matinee shows at Eddie’s Attic this morning & afternoon. I enjoyed them so much, that I came home last night, bought a ticket to the afternoon show at 1:00 PM, and am going back to Eddie’s to see it – without a child (except my inner one!) in tow! The shows are also CD release parties for The Little House Songs, her new album containing songs she wrote for this children’s concert series based on the classic children’s book of the same title by Virginia Lee Burton.
After the show, I chatted with Caroline & she signed a copy of her 2009 EP Silver Apples of the Moon that I purchased for only $5 at her merch table. When she asked me to whom to make the inscription out & I replied, “Tom, please”, she surprised me by replying, “Oh, are you Tom Tracy”! She actually remembered my name from a comment I had made a few days ago on her Facebook page in reply to a status update about last night’s show. In the comment, I said that I was really looking forward to the show – and she posted a comment in reply, “fantastic! See you there”. Little did I know that she’d remember my post as well as my name!
Finally, in the “connecting the dots” department, check out this incredible coincidence related to Caroline’s opening act, Linda McRae… 😉
