Band Members:
Spencer Capier
(duo partner)
Carolyn's partner in musical crime for 12 years. Genius multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, violin), excellent conversationalist, even if he is a little too fond of the limerick and the pun. His own instrumental disc, Plays Well With Others, is stellar, and he's increasingly in demand as a producer.
Roy Salmond
(associate producer)
Well-known producer, engineer, player of anything with keys, strings, or hittable surfaces, purveryor of Picasso quotes. Roy's been a part of a gazillion records but still approaches each project with passion, focus and a plethora of Picasso quotes. His studio, Whitewater Productions, is Carolyn's favourite place on earth to record music. Did we mention the Picasso quotes?
Adrian Walther
(bassist)
Once upon a time Adrian toured with Carolyn. Then Carolyn had a baby and took a maternity leave, so Adrian joined All Star United, moved on to various other killer projects, and became the rockstar bassist he is today. But he's still all over Carolyn's records, espcially the new one, Pollyanna's Attic, and if you're really, really lucky you might catch him on the odd live date with Carolyn and Spencer.
Phil Robertson
(drummer)
Phil is a Vancouver heavy-hitter (literally) who stunned and amazed with his grooves on the new project. Plus, he taught us how to identify drum fills as "Pat Boone Debbie Boones" and "Bette Middler Bette Middlers".
Other cool folks on the new project:
Layton Howerton , Sheree Plett , Glen Soderholm , Gayle Salmond, and Kent Wallace (trumpet).
