'Carla Sue" is no stranger to country music,playing with such greats as: Norma Jean,Tillman Franks,David Houston,Bill Phillips,Doug Mounts, and even the legendary 'Roy Acuff",just to mention a few! Carla Sue's roots are in the Arkansas Hills.She grew up singing the 'old time' gospel with her grandparents,and then as a teen with her Mom & Step-Dad. She was singing on programs with the greats at age 15, "The Singing Rambos' "as they were called back then"The Happy Goodmans" ,The Florida Boys" and many more. Carla's also an accomplished musician playing guitar,bass, drums,mandolin and keyboard.And she is a songwriter too! "In A Better Place" her latest single ,penned by Carla,was inspired by her grandparents and friends who are now "In A Better Place" It's a song of hope and how Love truly never ends. When not performing as a solo act,Carla is 1/3 of a Trio with her husband ,Jackie and another girl, known as "The Piearcy's".
Band/artist history
I kinda told it all in the Intro...Been singing since I was 3. I play Bass, Drums, keyboard/paino ,a little Mandolin,a little lead guitar and some rythum guitar..Been working on the Banjo....
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I do many live concerts per year ! All across the Country and I LOVE it !! Special ???!!! I was playing Bass and singing in a little "Family Show" just north of Nashville in a little place called "Long Holler". All of a Sudden the people just went crazy! I thought "Man They LOVE Me!!"I then heard a fiddle over my left sholder...guess who??? Roy Acuff !!!! Freaked me out !!!
Your musical influences
Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn,Donna Fargo. I was DX with MS a couple years ago. I want y'all to know..DONNA FARGO herself called me up on the phone and talked to me for about an hour! She's the "Greatest Girl in the whole USA " too.
What equipment do you use?
Since it's just me now..And occasionally my husband sings with me, I usally use Soundtracks...might throw in a guitar or mandolin here or there...
Anything else?
I'd like for my friends to read this article..it could be helpful in life and beyond... http://www.gospelontheroad.com/Articles.htm
