Bio
Carly Ann Calbero built her sound on Brandi Carlile, Pike Place Market, and the immersive music scene of the Pacific Northwest. Her powerhouse vocals and dynamic playing led to a spot in a national ad campaign for M&M's, a final spot in Rolling Stone Magazine's Street-To-Stage competition, and a headlining spot as the winner of NWMF's Emerging Artist program. Her voice, once described as a "freight train," is accompanied by a band of talented Seattle musicians.
