CAREN ARMSTRONG
(Oakland CA)

 

 

Performance Date

Sunday, Sept 2

One of the left coast’s most popular Singer/Songwriters, Caren Armstrong’s work can be defined by the old adage, “Arm yourself with impeccable technique and throw yourself on the mercy of inspiration”.  The petite redhead has been hailed as  “a living testament to the art of Self-Expression”.   Her award winning compositions skillfully combine her distinctive guitar chops with intelligent, at times hysterical lyrics.  Delivered with “a voice that the listener experiences as coming from within”, Caren’s dangerously honest, wickedly funny, and disarmingly vulnerable style references folk, country, blues, jazz, traditional and popular music, yet is distinctively her own.  Her newly released Wildplum Recordings CD, EVERYTHING features members of Houston Jones who will be joining Caren for her set.

“Dressed in a black velvet dress with gold sequins adorning her derriere, she hustled and bustled her way around the stage with the delicacy and determination of a chanteuse determined to give is Everything...And Everything is what we got, from her spectacular vocals and passionate guitar playing to her pithy, pulsating and down home lyrics, Caren left no stone unturned.”  L Zeiser poet, author

Caren will be appearing with members of Houston Jones.
