We are a family band from a tiny, rural Washington town called Curlew. We perform a mix of Folk, Americana, and Indie sounds across nine instruments from box drums to banjos. We thrive on bending genres and having fun while doing it. Our band is made up of 3 members with the occasional sibling, aunt, or cousin floating around.
First, our 16-year-old front woman Caroline Carlile on guitar, banjo, and vocals. She mostly is seen running around the stage bantering with the audience and her family on stage. It is always a good time when Caroline’s around!
Second, is our jack of all trades, 13-year-old JayJ Carlile. The driving force behind the music, JayJ is a multi-instrumentalist playing a range of 6-7 instruments. He also is known for singing his own songs about anxiety and the stresses of growing up.
And lastly, our dad, Jay Carlile. Providing expert harmonies and blues harp, he also is the official family bus driver.
We also write, record, and produce our own music, often from the backseat of our motorhome while we’re on the road.
With shows filled with comedy and family harmonies, we invite you to come along! Our songs range from heartache, to friendship, to familial love, to cowboys. There’s always a new song or story we are just waiting to share.
