CARRIE NEWCOMER: THE SLENDER THREAD

Known for emotionally intimate songs that explore the personal, the political, and the spiritual with compassion, insight, and wit, singer and songwriter Carrie Newcomer became a mainstay on the contemporary folk scene in the '90s. With her warm yet assertive voice guiding her songs, her music has been rooted in acoustic folk from the beginning, while also embracing elements of folk-rock and adult alternative pop. Eager to enlighten as well as entertain, Newcomer's music is nearly always wed to a thoughtful message, though her work is strong enough to engage those not necessarily looking for altruism.
