Influenced by jazz, blues, gospel and Southern rock, Carrie’s blue-eyed soul “rewards listeners with eloquent compositions intertwined with cool phrasing, smooth vocals and a signature down-to-earth touch.” Carrie performs solo, duo and up to a full band.
We felt lucky she was available! Carrie Marshall is a consumate professional, putting together a "made to order" band for our wedding: 4-piece, 5-piece, whatever we needed. She performed a variety of both original songs from her CD releases and standards. The excellent musicians she put together for the occaision all sounded as if they'd played together for years even they came from all over North Carolina and some had never met. We would have no hesitation whatsover in hiring her again and look forward to hearing her perform many times again in the future.
Response from Carrie Marshall:
Thank you, David and Jody! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your special day! It was a beautiful evening.

“Carrie Marshall rewards listeners with eloquent compositions intertwined with cool phrasing, smooth vocals and a signature down-to-earth touch.” – Mooresville Weekly
"In “Home” she’s created a collection of originals that play like standards. It’s a versatile record that riffs on the Andrews Sisters and Burt Bacharach as well as the contemporary jazz of Diana Krall (minus the brass and smoke) or Norah Jones filtered through 1970s AM pop singers like Carly Simon, Carole King, and pre-“Grease” Olivia Newton John."
- Courtney Devores, Charlotte Observer
Named one of North Carolina’s Top Charlotte Vocalists in 2012 by the Carolina Entertainment Network, singer/songwriter and actor Carrie Marshall has an amazing ability to wrap her heart and voice around a lyric, infusing each song she sings with a power and poignancy. Influenced by jazz, blues, gospel and pop, she has sung at a variety of venues along the east coast, from intimate wine bars to convention centers and sports arenas. She honed her songwriting skills while living in Nashville, where she recorded her album Redemption and worked as a session singer. But it was in North Carolina, where she moved in 2008, that she found her musical niche.
After landing in North Carolina in 2008, Carrie joined forces with several top musicians, performing a blend of her jazz, blues and original music in such notable places as the Democratic National Convention, Knight Theater with the Tosco Music Party, The Blumenthal theater with Jazz Arts Initiative and more.
An award winning songwriter and featured artist with the North Carolina Arts Council, Carrie’s musical influences are intertwined in her original works to create a unique, signature sound that’s sophisticated yet accessible. Carrie has been nominated twice for the musical score and theme song that she composed for the 11 time award winning feature film, “Changeover”. She ended up taking home an award, not for the score, but for Best Supporting Actress at the Love International Film Festival in 2017! In 2014, Carrie was one of ten top finalists in the UK Songwriting Competition and in 2010, Carrie was named the Songwriter of the Year with NC Songwriter’s Co-Op.
When not performing or writing, Carrie is the musical director at Moonlight Stage Company, where she teaches voice, piano and songwriting in addition to programming musical events for Moonlight’s black box theater.
