I am a mature vocalist who is looking for occasional quality gigs with other musicians (duo, trio or more). I am a full time employed professional, but truly miss musical communication and performance. I enjoy singing jazz/swing standards, folk music (especially Southern Appalachian influences), blues, scat, ballads and traditional country music. I have a wide vocal range and a mature adaptable sound that is my own, though I have been influenced by many vocalists. Mostly, I am moved by a compelling melody, meaningful lyrics, emotional delivery and the chance to communicate with others through music. You can reach me at carlson at me dot com.
