DEBUT ALBUM - OUT NOW!
Stream or Purchase it!
My debut album is finally out in the world! I can't wait for you to hear it. I hope you love it. Click the button below to stream or purchase the album, and if you like it, please spread the word!
Grenadine & Kerosene is the realization of a lifelong dream to record a full-length album of original songs. Produced by John McVey at Cinder Sound Studio in Longmont, Colorado, the album features a full band of seasoned musicians, including guitarist Michael O’Connor, drummer Christian Teele, bassists Chris Engleman and Kramer Kelling, and keyboardist Eric Moon. Singer-songwriters Megan Burtt, Edie Carey, Jen Hitt, Jen Morrison, and McVey contributed beautifully arranged backing vocals. This collection of songs spans a wide variety of sounds and influences, ranging from folk-rock and Americana to tender love songs and quiet, introspective folk tunes that offer the listener a window into intimate moments. The album is, as its title suggests, a mixture of refined sweetness and raw emotion, packing a punch that is powerful and satisfying. Listen to it anywhere you find music by clicking the button below.
Praise for "Grenadine & Kerosene"
“A fantastic album, full of great songs and what a voice. Carolyn Shulman could read me the specials board in the local diner and I’d still pay for the privilege of hearing her do so.” - Dave Franklin
“Grenadine & Kerosene" is an introspective musical journey that is equal parts tender as it is powerful. ...From the upbeat acoustic guitar plucking of the title track "Grenadine & Kerosene" to the more folk-rock electric guitar beat of "Matter of Time," to the southern choral organ tune of "Broken Wing", "Grenadine & Kerosene" has a song to suit any taste and a melody to satisfy any hankering.” - Jennifer Perez
“Carolyn Shulman’s “Grenadine & Kerosene” is the comfort song to help get you through your breakup. This heartfelt folk record is packed with relatable and beautiful lyrics, a lovely acoustic sonic palette, and sweet vocals. This song feels classic; like it belongs on the same playlist as Bonnie Raitt or Carol King. ” - Ashley Hart
