PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT – CAROLYN SILLS

Hailing from Santa Cruz, CA, Carolyn Sills and her band were named the 2024 Ameripolitan Award Winner for Western Swing Group in Austin, TX. Their unique take on American roots music is driven forward by guitar twang, swooning steel and her sharp songwriting. She’s released four albums, one doughnut and countless videos to date, all brimming with dueling guitar & non-pedal steel, fun vocal harmonies and witty lyrics.

Carolyn Sills is a classic American roots musician for the modern world, nodding to her old-school favorites one minute and exploring new ground the next. She’s doing her part to keep vintage American roots music styles alive and relevant in a modern world. 
Carolyn Sills and her band will be on the Strawberry Main Stage on Sunday, October 19 at 12:30 pm. Listen and learn more here!
