Carrie Linsky (of Caravan of Thieves)

Long before Caravan of Thieves, there was just Carrie, a guitar, and a song. That's where she started, and where she has always felt deeply at home.

Widely known as co-founder and co-lead of the beloved gypsy-swing quartet Caravan of Thieves, Carrie has watched the band's reach grow in ways nobody quite expected. Their song "Eat You" went viral on TikTok and now boasts over 8 million streams, and "Raise the Dead" found a new audience following its feature on a popular HBO series last year.

Over the past twenty years, Carrie has been busy recording and releasing seven albums, touring internationally, and holding her own on stages alongside Emmylou Harris, Keb Mo, The Decemberists, Bela Fleck, and high-energy acts like Deep Banana Blackout and The Motet. She is now reemerging as a solo artist while continuing to perform with Caravan of Thieves and alt/folk duo, Fuzz and Carrie. Carrie can command a room in any setting, but when it's just her and a guitar, something opens up that feels intimate and free, connecting instantly with her audience.

Since planting roots in the greater Georgetown community, Carrie has been building a home for songwriters at the Granite by leading songwriting workshop series, hosting songwriter circles, and curating a new concert series this October featuring local and touring performing songwriters.
