Carol Crittenden

NY based singer/songwriter Carol Crittenden's debut album, 'En Route,' is a collection of original tunes with a mix of sweet lilting vocals and melodic folk pop rock sensibilities.

As the daughter of esteemed opera director/teacher, Richard Crittenden, Carol's love of music began at an early age. She could be heard belting out Annie songs and putting on variety shows for family & neighbors in her backyard in suburban Northern New Jersey; these are some of her earliest childhood memories.

In addition to her original music projects, Carol has sung with various groups, and regularly tours as one of the Four Celtic Voices, whose CD debuted at #1 on the Billboard World Music Chart, in the Top Ten on multiple Heatseeker charts, and in the Top 40 on the Independent chart (May 2009). She sings a wide variety of styles, from classical to folk to musical theatre and she can also be heard singing on national commercials and in the shower. An actress as well, she has toured in productions of Dracula and Hamlet with the New Vic Theatre of London and has been seen on stage with various NYC and LA theatre companies.

Influences include: Toad The Wet Sprocket, Heather Nova, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette, Dar Williams, Sam Phillips, Joan Baez, Rosie Thomas, Dayna Manning, Eva Cassidy.
