“Caroline Carlile, a ninth-grader from a tiny Washington town, who just so happens to be famed singer Brandi’s niece, released her latest single (and second ever) this week. That song, “Haunted Heart,” shows the raspy-delight of a vocal tone in the family that doesn’t only belong to Brandi. Check out the new single.” - Jacob Uitti

“Sweet Caroline of Curlew. Nobody calls her that yet, but they should. This summer, 14-year-old Caroline is hosting the second annual Kettle River Music Festival in Curlew, Washington, with help from her family and friends. I got a chance to chat with Caroline recently over a Zoom call. Dressed in blue overalls and her hair pulled back in a bun, this girl was spunky and very insightful for her age. Interview jitters? Not for Caroline. This talented up-and-coming artist wasn’t flustered in the slightest.” - Jeff Totey
