Cedar Mountain Canteen: Carly Taich & Hannah Kaminer

 —  —

Cedar Mountain Canteen, 10771 Greenville Highway, Cedar Mountain, NC

Folk-pop artist Carly Taich writes about doubt, faith, fear, and love in a way that isn’t off-putting or boring. Her lyrics, framed by swooning violins and catchy, unusual melodies, take us to another era, or dimension, where honesty reigns and forgiveness is free. There is a storybook mysticism to all Carly produces, with one foot planted in this reality. The paradox between the two worlds leaves listeners wondering if she is inviting them into a dream or attempting to wake them up. A multi-award winning songwriter, Carly has become a known name in her hometown of Asheville, NC and beyond. Her 2020 EP, It Tends to Glow, was featured by NPR and American Songwriter, and Blurt Magazine named her debut 2017 record, Reverie, “a start-to-finish, no-filler/all-killer gem—a veritable calling card to greatness if enough ears find it.” In December 2022, she crowd-funded her sophomore album.
