Carrie Newcomer is a songwriter, musician, performer, educator and activist. The Boston Globe called her a "prairie mystic" and Rolling Stone Magazine called her one who "asks all the right questions." Carrie has 20 nationally released albums on Available Light & Concord/Rounder Records, including A Great Wild Mercy, Until Now, The Point of Arrival, and The Beautiful Not Yet.

Carrie is known for her deep and resonant voice, which is "as rich as Godiva chocolate," according to The Austin American-Statesman; for her musical depth and the progressive spiritual content of her songs, poems and workshops; and for her ongoing work for justice, spiritual and interfaith communities, and health and hunger organizations. In a time of deep division, Carrie has become a national voice committed to finding ourselves at the heart of the human story. She lives in the wooded hills of South Central Indiana with her husband and two shaggy rescue dogs.
