Carrie Newcomer’s music has always explored the intersection of the spiritual and the daily, the sacred and the ordinary. Over the course of her career she has become a prominent voice for progressive spirituality, social justice and interfaith dialogue. Her ability for sharp observation of the world lead the Dallas Morning News to rave, “She’s the kind of artist whose music makes you stop, think and then say, ‘that is so true.’” She has been described as “a soaring songstress” by Billboard, a “prairie mystic” by the Boston Globe and Rolling Stone has declared that Newcomer “asks all the right questions.”
“My most effective and powerful voice will always be my truest voice. We all know when a song is candy-coating things or just going for shock value. But when a song places its finger on the open palm of something true, it shakes the world just a little bit. Why would I want to do anything else as a writer, or as a person? Part of my work as a writer is to put into language and music moments of wonder that have no words.” The result is her latest release, Kindred Spirits: A Collection – a resonant soundtrack for a world that is both sacred and ordinary, reflective and forward thinking. Carrie currently lives in the woods outside Bloomington, Indiana with her husband, Robert Meitus and two fuzzy rescue dogs. You can buy the music in Amazon’s Carrie Newcomer Store at the link bellow.
