Bio
"The Old Ways" Album Release Show - Molly Malone's in Los Angeles:.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....With a picturesque sound that is distinctly American yet colored by the exotic, Carrie Wade is a recording artist who delivers her personal evocations with powerful subtlety and a sublime sense of emotion. Filmic textures harken back to the classic soundtracks of the 1960s, from which melancholy and simplicity of the time blend into the modern world of today where Wade's songs move the audience in the sometimes violent, sometimes peaceful ebb and flow of living.....Wade recently released her debut record, ..The Old Ways.., for which co-producers Peter Kearns of New Zealand and Springsteen cohort Marty Rifkin of Los Angeles were brought aboard to enhance and reflect Wade's diverse palette of influences.....Inventive as it is viable, Wade's music has attracted listeners hungry for songs where expectations are heightened rather than lowered, making "It's Just Blood," "Needles In The Waves," "Cuddling With Doom," and the title track popular staples of terrestrial and internet radio stations alike. At iacmusic.com, five of her songs have entered the Top 10, with three reaching Number 1. Recently, a new song by Wade, "Broken Soldier," has the distinction of not only enjoying its ninth week at Number 1 on IAC's Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana chart, but also has been lodged at Number 39 on Neil Young's "Living With War Today" page at www.neilyoung.com. Other recognitions include Los Angeles Music Awards' Adult Alternative Female Singer-Songwriter of the Year for her song, "It's Just Blood." As the second song on ..The Old Ways.., "It's Just Blood" also has been featured in the Top 500 entries of Billboard's World Songwriting Contest..... ...."Carrie Wade is a seriously great songwriter. There's a whole lot of people writing songs these days, and it's always evident which ones have the gift, the spark, and which don't. Carrie Wade has that spark. ... she fuses a prodigious gift for tunefulness with poetic lyrics of unforeseen candor. ... Her lyrics strike that crucial balance between the colloquial and the poetic, and her soulful vocals are reminiscent both of the aching purity of Emmylou Harris and the wounded bravado of Chrissie Hynde.".... Paul Zollo, Editor - BlueRailroad Magazine (and Senior Editor - American Songwriter Magazine, Nashville).......... ...."Wade evokes complex emotions and abstractions with a sensual intensity rarely heard from a recording artist of today. The songs on her debut are sublime, emotive, and delivered with beautiful simplicity. Subtle and powerful, ..The Old Ways.. is one of the most inventive new records to be released by a singer-songwriter of the modern era." .... Greg Debonne, Music Supervisor – Television.........."Carrie Wade is her own kind of musician, and definitely one who's willing to tackle more than one genre. Her debut release ..The Old Ways.. is at once hauntingly atmospheric and sweetly melodic. Vocally, she's reminiscent of Martha Davis gone acoustic." ....Bryan Kelly, Owner – Groove House Records.........."Carrie Wade is an artist who has the gift of writing memorable hooks with lyrics that grab you and don't let go. She's had several hit songs on the KIAC Big 50, showing that her songs have reached a very high standard within the Indie world."....Dave Walton and Scott Stambaugh, Founders, Independent Artist's Company - iacmusic.com........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
