Details:
With artistic influences as diverse as Joni Mitchell, Cleo Laine, kd lang and Anne Mortifee, Caroline awakened her profound love for singing, and experimented passionately with jazz and folk genres.

She produced two recordings of original music with guitars, keyboards and percussion on her High Spirits Music label. Ordinary Girl and Wings received worldwide distribution during the 1990s. They were reprised in CD format in 2005 with the title "ExtraOrdinary World". The music is inspired by the Baha'i Faith and the themes which impel humanity towards unity.

In the 1990s Caroline began a love affair with the Celtic Harp, and is currently one of Canada's leading international touring and recording artists. The music of the harp is an ideal complement to her clear and warm vocals. She has recorded a further 5 albums, including one with her Harp Trio, AnamCara. The titles are "O Most Mighty Ocean!", "Suite: Mothers & Angels", "The Maid of Eternity", "Tidings of Light" and "AnamCara".

Caroline Mackay tours outside British Columbia several times a year as a solo artist. Since 1995 she has performed to audiences of up to 1000 in such diverse venues as England, Switzerland, Texas, Michigan, Chicago, San Francisco, and all over Canada from BC to Ontario. In the Spring of 2004, she appeared in a three-week tour of the Islands of New Zealand, celebrating her fifth CD release, Tidings of Light.

Caroline is the Director of High Spirits Music & Harps, an Okanagan-based Company specializing in performance, composition, recording and harp instruction, and including a harp-building business headed by her husband Daniel Schmitt. You can contact Caroline at www.highspiritsmusic.com
