About:
Carolyn Shapiro is an old-time banjo player and songwriter from the Southern Adirondacks whose sound is rooted in the old songs of Appalachia. Blending her sultry flavor with a traditional style, Carolyn creates honest music that feeds the soul like a good home-cooked meal. She writes songs inspired by the world around her with a unique voice that will stop you in your tracks.
In 2022 Carolyn was named Folk Artist of the Year at the Capital Region Thomas Edison Music Awards after the release of her debut album “Where I’m Supposed to Be.” Carolyn’s second album, “Take it Easy” (2024), showcases her breadth as both a songwriter and instrumentalist, with 6 songs that dive into depths of the human experience. Produced in collaboration with Jim Mastrianni, the album was recorded live with Connor Armbruster on fiddle, Oona Grady on bass, and James Gascoyne on guitar and captures the magic that can only be heard when music is played together.
