"One of the best CDs of the year..."
- AMERICANA HIGHWAYS

“A direct hit to the solar plexus...if this new work doesn't raise [her] profile exponentially, there's simply no justice left in the Americana genre."
- THE INDEPENDENT

Award-winning singer-songwriter Edie Carey wrote the title track of her critically-acclaimed 8th studio album "The Veil" just days after she and her kids were involved in a serious car accident and about two months before the world would close down due to COVID. In part of that song “the veil” refers to the thin shroud of security we think we have between us and danger, and how terrifying it can be when it is suddenly torn away. Soon after the shutdown Carey dug into composing the rest of this “collection of articulate, highly personal songs” (At The Barrier). The Veil is an intimate and unguarded exploration of what it means to be a woman, a mother after years of infertility, a daughter, and a writer at time when nothing feels certain. These songs examine how difficult it is for us to see ourselves as others do; they explore the painfully delicate barrier between life and death; they consider the veil as it relates to marriage – a profoundly good one – and one that is fraying at the seams. In this collection, Carey marvels at the space between who we are now and who we’ve been, but ultimately The Veil feels like it’s meant “to mother you, to lift up those nurturing relationships that have the power to re- center us all.” (Folk Alley)

Edie was a featured lead vocalist on Joanie Leeds' 2020 Grammy-Winning ensemble album "All The Ladies" along with Lisa Loeb and Lucy Kalantari.

Colorado-based singer-songwriter Edie Carey is known for her unmistakable, soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, but perhaps most especially for her warm, engaging presence on – and off – stage. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Carey’s wry and often self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend.

Carey has been singing at festivals, colleges, and listening rooms across the US, Canada and Europe since 1999, performing alongside Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlile, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, and Shawn Colvin. Her co-writes have been recorded by Shawn Mullins and Chely Wright. She’s also been a featured artist on PRI’s Mountain Stage. She's appeared at the country's most prestigious folk festivals including Telluride Bluegrass, Rocky Mountain Folks, Newport Folk, 30A Songwriters, and Cayamo. Her duo lullabies project with Sarah Sample garnered several children's music awards, including Best Children’s Album in the 2015 Independent Music Awards, and she was a featured vocalist on Joanie Leeds’ Grammy-Winning Ensemble Album “All the Ladies” in 2020. Her eleventh album The Veil will be released June 3rd, 2022.
