Singer-Songwriter Caroline Doctorow Plays Paumanok Vineyards
 
Riverhead, NY—(June 18, 2007) The East End Arts Council is pleased to announce that singer- songwriter Caroline Doctorow will perform on Saturday, July 21, 2007 at Paumanok Vineyards in Aquebogue as part of the Wine Press Concert Series, with Barbara Lamb accompanying on  fiddle.

Caroline Doctorow’s style of music falls into the folk-pop genre. She has recorded six solo CDs, the latest of which is entitled Bootsy Met a Bank Robber. Other credits include the performance of a song on the PBS series, Freedom - The History of Us, narrated by Katie Couric, which aired in 2003. Her compositions appear on many compilation disks, including The Best of the Eclectic Café and an Ars Nova Productions release featuring independent folk performers.

Carmel Valley Ride, Caroline’s concept record about the 60’s folk duo Richard and Mimi Fariña, has received outstanding reviews: “This CD takes the listener on a fascinating journey, with most of the songs in some way relating to the Fariñas.…Carmel Valley Ride spins from the disk with a driving fury and conviction.” (Sing Out, 2004) “A brainy, heartfelt tribute.…#15 Best CDs of 2003.” (Eric Alterman, MSNBC) “An uplifting mix of sublime originals and covers that’s positively enchanting.…Best 20 Discs of 2003.” (Jim Musser, Iowa City Press-Citizen).

Caroline currently lives in Nashville, where she produces records and performs, and she tours the country with her band, “The Folk Dogs.” She is the daughter of author E.L. Doctorow.  “I learned to play the guitar at the age of eight. There was always music in our household. I always wanted to be a singer and a performer, and in one way or another, music is something I have worked on nonstop, from a very early age,” says Caroline.

Sponsored through the generosity of Bridgehampton National Bank, Times-Review Newspapers, and Corcoran Group, in association with the Long Island Wine Council, the Wine Press Concert Series performances take place at east end vineyards during sunset hours. All concerts begin at 6:00 PM and are held rain or shine under a tent. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the East End Arts Council or at the gate.
