Caroline Mary sings songs of animals, alcohol and agnosticism. Mostly allegorical her songs draw you in to a world inhabited by invisible horses, rampant octopi and a selection of metaphorical rodents. Accompanied mainly by guitar her songs are not genre specific but hint at folk, country and pop whilst exploring themes of desire, death and debauchery. This tour Caroline Mary leaves home to perform songs from an unknown future album and includes a few favourites from her debut “A Tray of Fancies”. With mesmorizing and dreamy softness Caroline Mary’s voice and words will move and amuse you in equal measure.
