I create music under the name Portraits Along The Way because place speaks to me. I love how places can root thoughts and emotions in our life. Each moment we live can be tethered to a place, but some places are more special than others. It the places that are full of meaning that I am hoping to capture in song.

Hi, I'm Caroline.

In a past life I worked as a full-time journalist covering business, politics, tech, and communities of color. Then I went into corporate PR and Advertising. I took some time off to help local artists and spent a lot of time backstage at local shows snapping photos for a music blog. Now I work as head of marketing at a local university, but I wouldn't mind drinking whisky and shootin the shit again with some of Seattle's most creative artists.

Keep me in the loop! I'm always looking for new local music.

Brandon Laib is an Oklahoma native singer/songwriter who has been playing music in the OKC Metro Area for nearly 25 years. He received his first guitar at age 14, and—as soon as he learned a few chords and how to avoid feedback—began playing in churches, coffeeshops, and any place that would tolerate him. 

In 2021 he released his debut album "Through the Vale." Produced during the Covid-19 quarantine, these songs were recorded in several makeshift locations using everything from home recording software to an iPhone 11. Upon it's release, the album was lauded by fans who called it "listenable" and "at times enjoyable." 

In the three years since, Brandon has written dozens of songs, released two EPs, and conducted one unsuccessful crowdfunding campaign—a Kickstopper, if you will. In addition to that, he continues to play live music at bars, restaurants, and dog parks across the metro and is preparing to release his next full-length project, "Love Songs for Frances." Prepare to be mildly entertained.
