Northern (musical) Lights - Carol Noonan

A lot of the independent artists that I particularly enjoy seem toi hail from either New England, Canada, Alaska or the Pacific Northwest. So this is the latest in the series. Since today is Mother's Day here in the U.S., I'm going to point you first to this wonderful musical essay.

Carol Noonan is from Maine. As her bio accurately states, she is "a contemporary singer-song writer, but is also known for her haunting renditions of Irish, English, and American traditionals." I'm a big fan of her original compositions and her incredible voice. She and her husband also have a larger vision that will come to fruition with the opening of the Stone Mountain Arts Center later this year.

You can hear lots of samples of Carol's music at http://www.carolnoonanmusic.com/Listen.htm
