Bring your dancing shoes!
THE CARLEANS

Currently recording their fourth album, the CarLeans’ original song-list is as eclectic as their musical style: intimate, emotional ballads ala’ Ricki Lee Jones and Townes Van Zant; humorous, quirky and thought-provoking crowd-pleasers not unlike John Hiatt, Lyle Lovett, and Little Feet; and driving, hypnotic grooves from Carpenter and Malbaurn complimented by Sarah's soulful vocal, inspiring the audience to its feet to dance.
Just off their second 'Southern Tour' this year, the trio has performed throughout the country, sharing the stage with the likes of The Subdudes, Mipso, The Birds of Chicago, Marcia Ball, Hooray For The Riff Raff, Walt Wilkins, Sarah Borges, The Wolff Sisters, and The Preservation Jazz Band . . . in such renowned venues as Daryl’s House CT, Infinity Hall CT, Ossipee Music Fest ME, Kate Hepburn Theater CT, Isis NC, Neutral Ground NOLA, The Southern TX, Skinny Pancake VT, Proclamation FL, The Narrows RI, Eugene O’Neil Theater CT, and Lulu’s AL as well as many others.
