TICKETS
New Single “Half of Me”
Available now on all streaming platforms!
“Half of Me” is about making choices. After getting lost in the abyss of indecision, the sensation of clarity can be so deeply satisfying. This song explores the molasses-like stuckness we feel when our path forward is unclear, and the relentless nature of holding steady once we have made up our minds.
Debut EP Good Tension
Carrie released her debut EP Good Tension in October of 2023, created with producer, engineer, and percussionist Kevin Matthews of Secret Canopy Recordings.
Each song explores a different representation of 'good tension’, whether that is embracing the pain of transformation ("Bothered"), honoring the love we deserve, even after being forgotten ("Adored"), holding both profound love and fear of loss in our hearts ("Maybe"), or recognizing the weight of our own agency ("Funny").
Carrie Jennings - vocals, flugelhorn & keys
Kevin Matthews - producer, engineer, drums & percussion
Jared Atol - mixing & mastering engineer
Thomas Jennings - guitar
Sean Dandurand - bass
