Caroline Hale
Caroline Hale is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and performer from Austin, Texas. Born and raised in San Antonio, Caroline began playing guitar at the age of 8 and quickly was drawn to bands such as The Beatles, Led Zeplin, Metallica, Eddie Van Halen, Heart, and many others. Hale's passion for the guitar quickly transcended to other instruments, and she honed her craft on the piano, bass, drums, slide guitar, and more. As Caroline grew older, her taste in music expanded into the rock and blues realms of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Hendrix, and John Mayer. It wasn't until the age of 14 that she began singing and writing original music. Then, she dived deep into commercial songwriting genres ranging from country to pop. The question of the most impactful influences on her music career is one answered with, "there isn't just one. I'm influenced by everything I hear and don't think it's fair to narrow it down to one genre, band, or person." With disregard for boundaries and genre-defining constraints, Caroline's debut full-length album "BFF" portrays various sounds and styles. From the intricate fingerpicking style mixed with the dark, gritty tones of the slide guitar and bass in "Know It All'' to the tight pop groove on "Frankly Speaking," then her cover of Merle Haggard's "Natural High," it becomes clear that the musicianship within the album was curated to provoke emotion through a combination of sounds and tones. Ultimately, "BFF" is a coming-of-age meets f*ck you album, complemented by earthy and modern elements that remind listeners of Phoebe Bridgers, Maggie Rodgers, and Kacey Musgraves. With the upcoming release of "BFF," Caroline continues her creative process as she works to write songs people can feel, giving her audience "Something To Believe In." Caroline Hale’s tracks
