Carolann Solebello is a performing songwriter born and bred in New York City. Well-known to folk audiences as the bass-playing, alto-singing founding member of harmony trio Red Molly, Carolann has spent most of her career as a solo troubadour. She nods to rural folk traditions with her smooth, compelling voice and warm acoustic guitar, yet keeps her boots firmly planted in the urban present with rhythmic precision and sophisticated vocal phrasing. An award-winning songwriter and proud member of AFM Local 1000, Carolann has five solo albums to her credit and is working on a sixth.
“Carolann Solebello may be the best kept secret in the world of singer-songwriters,” said Rick Warren of WFMT’s The Midnight Special. “She possesses one of the best voices in the singer-songwriter world with vocal body and spot-on intonation. She’s also matured into a first-rate songwriter.”
Carolann’s slew of awards include the 2015 Musicians on a Mission Songwriting Contest, the 2019 Most Wanted, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. She was the 2023 Finalist in the SolarFest Songwriter Showcase.
