Imagine Diana Ross growing up as a prolific songwriter on the Saskatchewan prairie and you’ve got Carrie Catherine and the sounds of green-eyed soul.

the live show

When Carrie Catherine brings her sassy songwriting and poetic lyrics to the stage, the story behind “green-eyed soul” comes to life. Born and raised in Saskatchewan, Catherine’s songs narrate the colorful and dramatic journey of a small prairie girl struggling to discover soul music in the unlikeliest of places: the harsh, flat Canadian prairie. While the songs, the groove, and Catherine’s smooth vocal styling stand alone, this story is animated with witty banter, video projection, and a unique set. With toes tapping and shoulders swaying, audiences are drawn into an intimate search not just for soul but of the soul, as Carrie Catherine struggles to love, leave, and listen to the land she calls home.

the albums

Carrie Catherine’s vivid imagery and smooth, sexy vocals are highlighted on her latest album Green-eyed Soul, which will be released in 2007. For this project, Carrie partnered with Don Kerr (Ron Sexsmith, Rheostatics) whose soulful groove is heard in his production style and performance.

Green-eyed Soul follows her 2005 release Venus Envy. Produced by John MacArthur Ellis (Jeremy Fisher, The Be Good Tanyas, Barney Bentall) the album was branded “arguably the best Saskatchewan independent release of 2005” (Gerry Krochak, Regina Leader Post). Carrie’s first album Out the Car Window has been featured numerous times on television’s Joan of Arcadia and Beautiful People.
