Caroline Herring, a Georgia resident by way of Austin, TX, is a Mississippi native known for her lyrical and inventive songwriting, her soothing vibrato, and her elegant melodies. On Camilla, her sixth full length release, Herring has created her most profound album yet, a collection of ten complex, modern, tradition-influenced compositions about love and hate and everything in between. Since her debut in 2001, Herring has gained a devoted following and has been embraced by tastemakers like NPR, Oxford American and A Prairie Home Companion. Herring has been compared to Lucinda Williams (Austin American Statesman), Joan Baez (Asheville Citizen Times) and Steve Earle (Paste Magazine). Although the comparisons are apt, Herring has developed her own signature sound that comes to full manifestation on Camilla, a career-defining record. "I feel braver on this album, and I feel it represents me wholly," she says.
