CARLY HARVEY Based out of Washington, D.C., Carly Harvey combines Blues, Jazz, Soul, and Americana roots styles to create a unique sound that calls to mind Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, and Nina Simone–with a little Ella Fitzgerald thrown in for good measure. In July 2018, Carly was featured in Big City Blues magazine as one of the youngest Blues artists to watch. She has had the privilege of sharing the stage with iconic musicians such as Annika Chambers, Ron Holloway, Kebbie Williams, Ephraim Owens, Cory Henry, Kofi Burbridge, Junior Marvin, and Susan Tedeschi, an artist whose work has been foundational to her musical evolution. Carly is a two-time D.C. Blues Society Battle of the Bands Winner (Duo in 2016, Band in 2018) and was proclaimed D.C.’s Queen of the Blues in 2016 by Dr. Nick Johnson of WPFW Radio. Her band, Kiss & Ride, represented Washington, D.C., in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January of 2019, where they advanced to the semi-finals. That same year, Carly released a new EP titled Kiss & Ride: Vol. 1 and the hit single, “She Ain’t Me,” is now charting on regional blues radio stations. Shortly after the album was released, she was voted 2nd place for Best Performance Artist in Washington City Paper’s “Best of D.C. 2019.”
In 2021, Carly was nominated seven times and won the WAMMIE award for Best Blues Artist/Band. An International crossover album titled Among the Stars and an EP titled Y.A.M.W.A.O. with Italian producer/composer Taste of Dream are additional projects that have allowed Carly to explore an element of her musicianship beyond the Blues. Carly is a Tsalagi and Tuscarora descendant and it is her belief that the Blues not only comes from the African American experience but is actually directly influenced by Indigenous American Minor Pentatonic Melodies and Stomp Dance Songs. She occasionally offers master classes to educate people about the music that gives her so much pride in her Afro-Indigenous heritage. “Carly Harvey’s voice can make the most complex vocal phrasing sound pure and natural.” “No Gimmics, Just the Voice.” ~ Fan quotes from Ms. Harvey’s website.
