Join Singer-Songwriter Carole Wise for an evening of heartfelt, artfully crafted folk and Americana originals.
Maine singer/songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Carole Wise, is returning to the stage after a long caregiving hiatus. Her guitar/mandolin playing is intricate and straight forward and her lyrics are nuanced, lyrical and both personal and universal. The title cut of her CD, The Long Way Home, charted in the top 20, on Folk Radio.
Nature is where Carole finds and taps into her creative and spiritual muse: “…Nature has much to share, to teach, to guide for all who seek to wonder her paths…”
Carole’s music is not afraid. She sings about love, loss, society’s issues, finding self, courage and perseverance~ always with a silver lining - a belief that every experience is an opportunity for growth and awareness.
