Delightful UK singer/songwriter Carrie Tree
will give a concert at Neil’s Backpacker’s on April 20 in the Sundowner session.
“Carrie Tree is coming to add some
finishing touches to her soon to be released album in Durban at The Headroom
Studios and we felt that we could not pass up the chance of getting her to
perform some of her music to a local audience,” say the organisers. “So good
that she was agreeable for a once off performance on her last day here!”
Carrie has toured and/or collaborated with
the likes of Damien Rice, Fink, Duke Special, Martha Tilston, Carly Simon, Ben
Taylor, Rumer - even the prog rock band Marillion! She has been a known name on
the UK alternative/green festival scene for several years playing regularly at
festivals like Glastonbury, Sunrise, Shambala, Buddhafields and the Green
Gathering.
Her collaboration with Andy Barlow from
Lamb called Compassion has been
broadcast globally since 2010 on the Korean Air advert which has garnered more
than 250,000 listens on Youtube. She will be the featured vocalist on Andy
Barlow's new project called Lowb which will be released by Distiller Records in
May. The first single is a Carrie Tree/Andy Barlow collaboration called Inward Outburst.
In 2013, Carrie will be releasing a solo
project EP in May, another in July and a full album in October which will be
accompanied by an extensive touring schedule from May-September in the UK,
across Europe and all the way to Latvia! She is deeply passionate about the
