Musician Information
“Classically Trained Country Crooner”. This is what Carrie Cunningham has become to be known as. With not a lot to do in a small Nebraska town, Carries love for singing began at an early age watching and imitating “Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters Show”. Carrie loved to watch the way Barbara and her Sisters used the stage and performed; they are the influences which helped Carrie discover her passion to become an entertainer. Although her parents loved the Midwest, they believed the Northwest would increase their chances of having successful careers. Feeling out of place and insecure, Carrie’s teacher suggested she join the middle school Acappella and Jazz Choirs. Carrie soon found comfort and felt a sense of belonging. Carrie started to build her confidence and began performing solos to packed gymnasiums. Although Carrie was singing Classical and Jazz music in school, she found comfort at home listening to Alabama, Patsy Cline, Jim Croce, while listening to a few new pop/rock sounds of Damn Yankees and Aerosmith. During High School Carrie’s vocal talents developed tremendously and earned her a seat for All-State and All-Northwest Choirs. Because of the four to eight part harmonies Carrie’s ear was now use to, she began to listen a little more closely to pop culture and Motown. “The Mamas and The Papas” and “The Supremes” were the main source of ear candy for Carrie with a few bands off the radio. Wanting to find her place in music, Carrie began to focus on the music that really brought her back to her roots of Nebraska. In this moment of her life, Reba McEntire exploded onto the Country Charts. Carrie knew her life was going to revolve around country from that day forward. She entered her first country singing competition in Spokane, WA at the age of and took th. Singing in college choir and taking private vocal lessons helped Carrie take home st place at the th Anniversary Eagles Auxillary National Talent Competition a few years later. Once College was over, Carrie joined the Spokane Symphony Choral in order for her to maintain her vocal strength. She ended up staying for five years.

Carrie started dabbing into songwriting in after being a part of many different cover bands from blues and classic rock to a performing songwriting Duo for two years. She found that singing other peoples songs paid the bills, but were not personally satisfying. In Carrie sang background vocals for a Seattle country band where in after months of their begging, she agreed to join the band as a part front man. Carrie found there were moral confrontations and was not going to sacrifice what she believed in for a cover band so she ended the relationship. Within Two weeks, Divulge Records signed Carrie to a recording deal. Branching out for the first time as a solo performer and Nashville Songwriters Association member in late , Carrie has spent the years playing benefit concerts and touching people worldwide with her heartfelt lyrics and has shared the stage with numerous national acts such as: The Bellamy Brothers, Mark Wills, Rich McCready, Sugarland, Keith Anderson and Heidi Newfield. Currently, the song Smile Again -from her debut solo album Honeysweet- is becoming a staple theme song for various organizations and podcasts such as the Vanished Children’s Alliance and Emergency .

With years of performing experience, Carrie religiously draws the audience into a wondrous musical experience that has them walking away certain that they have just witnessed a rising entertainer on her way to stardom. Where and when will she be appearing next is always a bombarding question that comes Carrie’s way. With her physique, her stage presence the uncanny vocal resemblance of Linda Rondstandt meets Patsy Cline, it’s clear why Carrie Cunningham’s popularity is spreading like wildfire from the Northwest regions of the U.S. to scores of locations around the globe!

Carrie embodies all things country from her look to singing and from her style and performances to the way she lives her life; Carrie Cunningham is the perfect Country Singer/Songwriter.
