Carol Markstrom sings with the heart of a folk singer with her musical inspirations including Folk, Roots, Americana, Outlaw Country, and Western. She is thrilled to share the news that in March 2016 she received the prestigious 2015 Vocalist of the Year Award from the Academy of Western Artists! Then, in January 2017, she learned she was again Top 5 nominated for the same award. Her second album, Crossing Borders, has just been awarded the 2017 Original Classic Western CD of the Year by the Rural Roots Music Commission. Along with Carol's first CD, Vision Across the Range, both have received highly favorable reviews. You can hear Carol’s songs played on radio programs across the U.S. and even internationally including Spain, Portugal, Sweden, New Zealand, and other countries. A third album is underway.

Carol performs in a wide variety of venues including restaurants, wineries, coffeehouses, and guest ranches and she is equally comfortable in concert settings such as festivals and house concerts. Once heard, she is invited for return engagements.
