A musical force equipped with the soulful vocals of Janis Joplin and the guitar slinging skills of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carolyn Wonderland reaches into the depths of the Texas blues tradition with the wit of a poet. She grew up the child of a singer in a band and began playing her mother's vintage Martin guitar when other girls were dressing dolls. She went from being the teenage toast of her hometown of Houston to sleeping in her van in Austin amid heaps of critical acclaim for her fine recordings: "Alcohol & Salvation," "Bloodless Revolution," and most recently "Miss Understood." Along with the guitar and the multitude of other instruments she learned to play–trumpet, accordion, piano, mandolin, lap steel–Wonderland's ability to whistle remains most unusual. Whistling is a uniquely vocal art seldom invoked in modern music, yet it's among the most spectacular talents the human voice possesses.
