One of Alabamas best-kept secrets is the talented blues singer Carroline Shines who is carrying on the deep blues tradition she learned from her father, the late, great, world-renowned Johnny Shines. A regular on the Alabama festival and club circuit, she sings her own brand of the blues. Her powerful, soul stirring vocals and commanding stage presence leave crowds eager for more! As the daughter of outstanding bluesman Johnny Shines (one of the few to travel with the legendary Robert Johnson), Carroline grew up in a rich musical environment with her father and his many blues-playing friends as her mentors. She dedicated her early years to raising a family and singing in her church and local bands. Since her children have grown and flown the coop, Carroline has dedicated more time working with the Alabama Blues Project helping to educate the next generation about the blues. She is also working hard to keep her father’s memory alive and in December, 2009, Carroline successfully had a local street named in honor of her father. With her raw gospel tinged vocals and warm, engaging stage presence, Carroline Shines inspires crowds wherever she sings!
