Caroline's fanbase spans the globe as she tours venues and festivals across the United States and Europe.

“‘Singer/songwriter’ is an adequate description of Caroline Aiken, but it doesn’t tell you what you really need to know. It doesn’t even hint at the unseen work, thought, vision, organization and management she puts into every performance. It doesn’t tell you that if she brings along a band, it’s going to be an enthusiastic but disciplined unit that’s committed to the total musical experience. And it doesn’t tell you that Caroline is an Artist with a capital A, whose seemingly effortless songs form a direct link from one soul to another. During the years I hosted “It’s Friday!” it was my honor to present performances by Caroline at least ten times, and I never tired of basking in the glow of her work.”

Robb Holmes, UGA Radio show: IT’S FRIDAY

​“Caroline is one of Atlanta’s most talented and respected performing songwriters. I guarantee absolute joy..”
