Award-winning Texas guitar slinger, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Carolyn Wonderland will perform live at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach on Wednesday, October 18 and The Mint in Los Angeles on Thursday, October 26, 2023.
In 2018, legendary musician and bandleader John Mayall chose Carolyn Wonderland to be lead guitarist in his band, The Blues Breakers. She became the first woman to ever hold that position and has now joined the Alligator Records family as the first female guitar hero in the label’s storied 50-year history. But that’s not all. Her spine-chilling, soul-deep singing matches her guitar prowess note for note. And she has a knack for writing songs that sound like instant classics. Wonderland’s signature, blistering six-string and lap steel playing, her intense vocals and her original songs melding blues, rock and Americana, have helped her earn her status as a “must-see” live performer. Wonderland won two top 2021/2022 Austin Music Awards. In addition to winning for Best Blues Artist, she took home the award for Best Guitarist.
“Fragile Peace and War”
Wonderland’s Alligator Records debut release, Tempting Fate, finds her delivering ten riveting songs, including five fiery originals and one co-write. Wonderland’s vocals range from raw and fierce to subtle and gentle. Her guitar work, on both six-string and lap steel, is often explosive and always melodic. According to the album’s producer, roots music legend Dave Alvin, “Carolyn is unique, strong, soulful and sincere. She can pick and belt out the blues with the best of them, but her powerful, melodic vocals and six-string stylings are truly her own. Traditional yet innovative, tough yet tender, Carolyn always sounds like no one else but herself.”
The Boston Herald describes Carolyn as “a dollop of Janis Joplin, a slice of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and a big load of soulful individuality. That’s Wonderland, a seething-hot Texas singer-guitarist. And she can write, too.”
