"Caroline Horn is earthy and soulful—a gifted songwriter and musician with a
rich, fluid voice and a real inspiration."
-Rosanne Cash
Caroline Horn is tapped into things—things we all experience. Even though she writes about herself and people she has come across, it's inevitable that in one of her songs or another she seems to be singing about you. It's that well-honed edge of insight in her lyrics that makes her music feel so personal. Passionate. Powerful.
How did Performing Songwriter put it? "Whether it's physical, emotional, or sexual, [Horn's] not afraid to bare the raw nerve."
That keen intensity has made people sit up and take notice. In addition to scooping up awards from a variety of song contests, Caroline has recorded and shared the stage with Roberta Flack, Diane Schuur, Philip Glass, The Story, Loudon Wainright III, Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul & Mary) and Christine Lavin. She has also assisted Rosanne Cash in teaching songwriting at the Omega Institute.
Most recently, her music was featured in the hit HBO series, Sex and the City.
The year 2000 saw Caroline take a hiatus from performing, forging her musical and writerly sensibilities into a new role as music journalist. She began writing for such music industry publications as Billboard, Relix, and grammy.com. She also created and now writes the music coverage for Martha Stewart Living.
She never stopped writing songs, though. Now, a new CD, The World We Knew, introduces the songs composed and crafted during Caroline's time away from the stage.
Caroline is thrilled with her opportunities to both write music and write about music: "I'm having a lot of fun turning readers on to music they might not know about—and broadening my own horizons, too. At the same time, my music lets me express what I can't say in sentences—questioning with the proper passion, and getting to places that I can't access except through songs."
When she's not putting pen to paper or voice to melody, Caroline is active in the music community as President of Women in Music, Inc., a professional organization based in New York City, and also serves on the board of directors of the Songwriters' Guild of America.
