Carrie Akre 'Last The Evening' album

Carrie has been an integral part of the Seattle music scene before ‘grunge’ was a nationwide phenomenon. Carrie created a name for herself as lead singer of underground bands Hammerbox and Goodness. Over the past three years, Carrie has released two solo albums ‘Home’ and ‘Invitation’. Always making her presence known, her massive fan base, most of whom have been with her from day one, has continued to grow.

Using her ‘thunderous, wailful vocals’ Akre has a way of pulling and attracting the listener to her. With her solo work she uses lyrics that focus on the day to day struggles with life and relationships. Akre attempts to relate to every listener with a style that is both catchy as well as all her own.

“Carrie and I have been trying to put together a record for years. It’s so great to finally work with such a talent. She has an amazing voice. She just delivers!” – Steve Fisk

“A voice and lyrics so powerful that I've been reduced to tears during multiple listens. After a listen to Carrie’s new cd I felt as though I should call up all of my ex-lovers to say ‘I’m sorry, I finally get it’ Her voice and lyrics somehow have the ability to bring years of my own emotional conflict in to painful focus. One listen to ‘Courage’ might just inspire you to finally surrender to the love that you’ve been resisting!”
