Carolyn Fe Blues Collective offers up the Blues in all its shades, full band or acoustic trio/duo setup. Carolyn Fe Blues Collective has the unique ability to serve it's audiences with highly charged emotions – From the sweet, purity love's first kiss to the raunchy edge of a woman scorned, all the way to the tease of languid sexiness.
Having launched their second CD entitled “Original Sin” to packed houses on two nights in 2011, this independent blues band continues to establish its presence in the Canadian Blues scene. Cashbox Canada's review claim that the band is "evolutionary with its blues fingerprint".
Their first CD entitled “100%” (released in 2009) joined the play lists of various online and on-air radio stations worldwide and continue to receive positive feedback as the songs remain alive with the addiction of new tunes from their recent album.
A highly versatile, well-rounded performer, Carolyn Fe possesses the deep soul of an artist who has lived on the fringe for most of her life, and made the most of it as the true innovator she is, giving her music and lyrics an insight and depth that cannot be imitated and must be heard. She produces original material that contains lyrics with highly charged emotions that only the Blues can surrender – from extreme loss and anger to love-gone-bad or the languid sexiness of a hot summer night.
Backed by veteran musicians who’ve played with the likes of Percy Sledge, Fat Boy Slim and Seal, the band’s delivery has phrasing that at evokes deep sensations from the begging for love, the hard-core-in-your-face of truth denied or the dreamy allure of pure seduction.
With each live show, they win over the hearts of new fans adding to their loyal following.

Carolyn Fe Blues Collective offre le Blues dans toutes ses nuances, en groupe ou en duo/trio acoustique. Carolyn Fe Blues Collective a cette capacité unique d’offrir à son public des émotions très fortes. De l’amour doux et pur du premier baiser à celui plus torride d’une femme méprisée en frôlant l’érotisme langoureux.
Leur deuxième album ‘Original Sin’ a été lancé dans une salle comble et ce pendant deux soirs de suite en 2011, ce groupe blues indépendant continue de marquer la scène blues canadienne. Leur premier CD, intitulé ‘100%’ (lancé en 2009) a rejoint la programmation musicale de plusieurs stations de radio fm et web à travers le monde et continue de recevoir des retours positifs notamment grâce à l’ajout de titres du nouvel album. Leurs chansons sont en rotation dans plusieurs stations de radios à travers le monde.
En apportant les classiques éléments du blues à un mélange encore plus éclectique... de styles musicaux variés, Carolyn Fe Blues Collective n’est pas un groupe de blues ordinaire. Brut, vrai, doté d'une énergie captivante, le public est immédiatement subjugué par l’enthousiasme débridé de ce groupe qui sait transmettre l'amour du jeu lors des spectacles en direct. Selon Cashbox Canada Magazine, le groupe est « évolutionnaire avec son empreinte blues ».
Carolyn possède une âme profonde d’artiste qui a vécu en marge une grande partie de sa vie. Son parcours a fait d’elle une véritable innovatrice, donnant à sa musique et à ses paroles une perspicacité et une profondeur inimitables, qui doivent être entendues. Elle produit des chansons originales, fortes en émotion, que seul le blues peut offrir – de la perte extrême et de la colère à l’amour déchu ou à l’érotisme langoureux d’une chaude nuit d’été.
Avec le soutien de musiciens chevronnés influencés par Percy Sledge, Fat Boy Slim et Seal, le groupe offre un phrasé qui évoque les sensations profondes de la mendicité pour l’amour, de l’irréductible affront de la vérité niée ou du charme rêveur de la séduction pure.
À chaque spectacle donné en direct, ils gagnent le cœur de nouveaux fans et leur fidélité.
