About Me
Caroline is a singer, songminer, and songwriter based in Petoskey, Michigan. First and foremost she is a fan of music. She also serves as an Artistic Director based in northern Michigan.
She currently performs with several Michigan-based collaborations Lucky 17, The North Carolines, and as a solo artist.
Caroline’s music is a reflection of her journey from her roots in North Carolina, to childhood years in France, summers in Michigan, her travels to Mexico and Central America and across the United States.
LUCKY 17
Lucky 17, a collective of seasoned musicians, merges the soulful sounds of Americana, folk, and roots music into harmonious synergy. Based in Michigan, this band showcases the collaborative spirit of artists who bring their individual strengths and unique voices to create a rich, melodic tapestry.
Their songs are a celebration of life's complexities, delivered through compelling lyrics and intertwined harmonies that invite listeners into their shared journey of musical exploration.
Lucky 17 features Ed Dupas, Caroline Barlow, Tony Pace, and Ozzie Andrews.
The band has performed at festivals such as Mile of Music, Blissfest, Nor-East'r, and Hollerfest. They are regulars at North Star Lounge in Ann Arbor's Kerrytown and love to get out and support local music.
The
The North Carolines
The North Carolines is led by Caroline Barlow and Kurt Westie. A project that began in 2015 after Kurt heard Caroline sing before a Billy Strings concert. He insisted that Billy introduce them. Their 10-year journey has had them exploring the gamut of American roots music, particularly Bluegrass, Old-Time, Americana, and Singer-Songwriter Folk music. They incorporate driving storytelling, ballads, instrumentals, and harmony with the help of Jim Kremidas on pedal steel and Chris Michels on bass.
The North Carolines have had opportunities to open for acts like The Accidentals and Joshua Davis, we have played on stages at The Alluvion, The Garden Theater, Suttons Bay Auditorium, Crooked Tree Arts Center, Blissfest Folk & Roots Festival, Earthwork Harvest Gathering, along with regular summer performances at Lake Ann Brewing Co. Jacob's Farm, and Pine Hill Cafe.
