Hi friends-

The new year is upon us and with that comes a new website design, Carla Ryder music on Spotify, and on Pandora (coming soon). Lots of shows will be announced shortly. Everything from yoga concert classes, fundraisers, an acoustic duo with Chris Roussin at the new venue Radio, to Miriam full band fun. I'll keep you posted and I'm trying to get to updating the site with more fun pics. It's going to be a great year of music and I look forward to sharing it with all of you. Thank you again for all of your support.

xoxo

Carla Ryder and songstress extraordinaire Amy Fairchild have joined together to create the musical powerhouse known as Miriam. With Ian MacMillan on drums and Andy Santospago on guitar and instruments ending in "o" - banjo, mando, dobro, they welcome special guests with every show to diversify and liven the experience. It's a rollickin' good time.

Lonesome Town needs you!

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0800

Hi friends -
I just got some really good news. "Lonesome Town" off Til the End of Counting has
placed as a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition. This is a big deal and a pretty elite contest. There were over 15,000 entries - and it's now down to only 15 contestants in my category. In the next few weeks judges including Loretta Lynn, Tom Waits, Nelly Furtado and Amy Ray (Indigo Girls) will be listening and deciding who wins. They have also opened up a people's choice category. This is where you come in. It would mean a lot if you could take a minute to click on the site and cast your vote for the song "Lonesome Town" in the Americana category. http://www.songwritingcompetition.com/PVWelcome2007.htm
I think you can vote as much as once per day, so if the spirit moves you, keep on clickin' and voting from Feb 5th to Feb 29th.

The prizes include some very cool gear, recording time and equipment, lots of industry exposure and cash!!
