Cadence Carroll grew up surrounded by music.
Her mother, who was a music teacher and taught while she was pregnant,
claims Cadence got her sense of rhythm from nine months of listening
to guitar playing while in the womb. Although Cadence's first instrument
was the violin, she quickly moved to guitar lessons taught by her
mom in the basement of their home in Norwalk, CT. In college in
Ithaca, NY, she fell in love with the sounds of African-Cuban percussion.
There she found a passion and natural affinity for accompanying
fellow musicians on the djembe, a large African hand drum.
The past year has been an all-around exciting
one for Cadence. She was selected in the summer of 2002 as a Falcon
Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist Showcase performer. She
also won the 2003 Rose Garden Coffeehouse Performing Songwriter
Competition, was a finalist in the 2004 Plowshares Songwriting
contest,and was a finalist in the 2002 Susquehanna Music
and Arts Festival Songwriting Contest. After releasing two self-produced
recordings, Cadence most recently completed her first full-length
CD, "Evolve" with nationally-known folk duo The Kennedys.
Pete and Maura Kennedy produced, engineered and performed on the
album.
Cadence is a regular feature performer at
venues up and down the east coast. When she's not performing her
own music, Cadence can be found providing support as a back-up percussionist
and vocalist. She is currently a member of the Sloan Wainwright
Band and has played professionally with Vanida Gail, Hugh
Blumenfeld, The Kennedys, Ina May Wool, and Terence Martin.
Cadence has opened for Susan Werner, Greg Greenway, The Kennedys,
Sloan Wainwright, Ellis Paul, Karen Savoca and Peter Heitzman, Nerissa
and Katryna Nields, and many more. She's also been known to
jump onstage at a moment's notice with almost anyone who asks for
a little drumming.
