Description
An Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee and multi-Blues Music Award nominee, Carolyn Wonderland is widely celebrated as "one of Texas' finest guitar-slingers" (Austin American-Statesman). Bob Dylan famously declared, "She should be nationwide." Blending fiery Texas blues, Tex-Mex, and riff-fueled rock 'n' roll, the guitar heroine and soulful vocalist has performed alongside icons like Levon Helm and Buddy Guy, in addition to spending years touring as lead guitarist for blues legend John Mayall. Building on her acclaimed Alligator Records debut Tempting Fate, Wonderland's latest album, Truth Is, produced by Dave Alvin, delivers her signature blistering fretwork, lap steel virtuosity, and deeply personal songwriting. Backed by a powerhouse band, Wonderland brings an explosive, emotionally charged live show to every stage.
