Her career spans 36 years, starting on the coast of Georgia with musical influences from Emma Lee Ramsey of the Georgia Sea Island Singers. In 1969, she found herself in NY playing in her first rock band “Father Time”, then touring in California during the early 70's, followed by performing in South America from ’73 -‘74, to the streets and venues of Seattle in the mid 70's, heading East to Greenwich Village in the early 80's and finally full circle, back in Atlanta. Since 1986 her base has been Atlanta where she is has received numerous accolades. She has caught the ears and hearts of everyone who hears her, including Bonnie Raitt. She opened shows for Bonnie in 1985, and Bonnie performed on Caroline’s first recording in 1988, Line Of Vision. In 2002 and 2003 Bonnie Raitt introduced Caroline to the Austin and San Antonio scene.
Caroline heard the Indigo Girls in 1980 in an alley behind Good Old Days in Atlanta practicing a CSNY song. When she put a third part harmony on it - they became friends. CA invited them on to her stage when they were 16-17 years old and sang on the Indigo Girls’ first recording (song-FINLANDIA) and toured with them nationally in 1992 – 1994 and 1997. In ’95, she played four separate roles in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, starring the Indigo Girls.
Caroline is also a talented and gifted teacher and has taught her courses “Zen And The Art Of Performance”; “Songwriting In Your Sleep” and “Guerilla Guitar Works” at many venues, colleges, music stores, festivals, and one on one. She has taught at Summer Songs / CA. Swannanoa Gathering / N.C., South Florida Folk Festival, Lamb’s Songwriters’ Retreat / Michigan. Caroline will be teaching this May 2006 at the Schorndorf Guitar Festival, this will make her the first female ever invited to teach and perform at this prestigious event.
“Caroline Aiken, often sighted as one of the cornerstones of the Decatur folk movement, has long been at the forefront of modern folk and acoustic expression, … and her soothing, fine wood-grain voice purrs with a youthful innocence one minute, then growls like a wise old blue singer the next, marking each song with her trademark, time-honed stamp of quality...” --LEE VALENTINE SMITH
