Carolyn Wonderland
Waterfront Blues Festival
Portland, OR.
July3, 2008

Recorded from KBOO FM. An all volunteer radio station in Portland. FM>HD>FLAC>Dime or at times FM>H2 ZOOM>HD>FLAC>Dime. As always there are some bumps in the road, but nothing that would stop me from down loading these shows. I've tried to fix all the drops and pauses in the music. Enjoy the festival, twofthrs

"Carolyn Wonderland's live shows are just outright phenomenal. Top notch, five stars, off the meter..." -Rockzillaworld Magazine

Carolyn Wonderland has the goods. A triple threat with her diverse songwriting, soulful vocals, and guitar goddess status—all featured on over twenty CDs, six of which are her releases—she has a pedigree in the music business that's hard to match. A renegade, she incorporates elements of Blues, Country, Swing, Zydeco, Surf, Gospel, Soul, and some nights, even a Cumbia into the musical mix.

Wonderland hails from Houston, where she has won awards in the Houston Press for everything from Best Guitarist, vocalist, Songwriter, Blues, to Release of the Year and Musician of the Year, virtually sweeping the wards for five years from the time she was a teenager. She now resides in Austin, which she refers to as "the land of free guitar lessons."

Wonderland's songs have been featured on NBC's "Homicide," and Fox's "Time of Your Life." She has toured with acts like Buddy Guy and Johnny Winter, sat-in with String Cheese Incident, Robert Earl Keen, and Los Lobos, jammed with mentors and friends like Bob Dylan, Eddy Shaver and Ray Benson.

In addition to leading her hard-touring band, Carolyn is also in a few other notable groups. She's the primary singer on the Jerry Lightfoot's Band of Wonder "Texistentialism" CD with Jerry and Vince Welnick (Grateful Dead, Tubes.) She's a founding member of the Loose Affiliation of Saints and Sinners (with Papa Mali, Eldridge Goins, Guy Forsyth, and others), with several of her songs being featured on their "Sessions from the Hotel San Jose Rm. 50" CD. Carolyn is also the guitarist in the all-girl, southern rock band Sis DeVille, and a founding member of the Austin Volunteer Orchestra. When she's not playing music or driving around the country, she volunteers for the non-profit charity, Instruments for Orphans, serving on the board of directors. Frequently, you can also catch her doing Gospel Brunch at Maria's Taco X-Press with the Imperial Golden Crown Harmonizers on Sundays, raising money for local charities.
