Growing up on the coast of Georgia, Caroline learned the blues 'honest' from her earliest influence, Emma Lee Ramsey of the Sea Island Singers ( the group was recorded by Alan Lomax in the mid 60's and now on Rounder Records) Atlanta Magazine calls her "the Godmother of the acoustic scene in Atlanta," having found the Indigo Girls and helping them in the early 80's (they recorded on two of Caroline's CDS- ("Live At the Attic" '93 /"Butler Field" '97). It wasn't long after that when she opened shows for Bonnie Raitt, who plays on Caroline's first recording "Line Of Vision" ('88). She's been called an "Underground Legend" (Santa Cruz Weekly) Victory Music in Seattle says she has a "sensual voice," plays an "expert guitar," and has "masterful writing."

When asked by a reporter of who is the next big thing out of Atlanta, Shawn Mullins said "Caroline Aiken".
Jef Jaisun of "Blues Suede News" magazine says she "can tear her 12 string a whole new consciousness." Tacoma Music Review says "Witness this stand- alone performer, known for her extraordinary ability to jaw-drop a crowd...the relationship becomes apparent as she sways her artful pendulum from her intricate and masterfully sensitive side, then delivers hot-blooded thundering rhythms and riffs that fill every spot in the room, bordering on eroticism, setting her apart from the other solo performers."

She is the entertainment coordinator for the Atlanta Dogwood Festival (www.dogwood.org ) and she teaches workshops in performance, guitar, and songwriting at many renowned schools and retreats around the country.
