“Edie Carey’s [The Veil] is a direct hit to the solar plexus…jaw-dropping lyricism…” 
-The Independent

“Bare of self-pity and full of down-to-earth revelation... a little country, a little adult-contemporary, and a lot of fine music.” 
- Harp Magazine

Colorado-based singer-songwriter Edie Carey is known for her unmistakable, soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, but perhaps most especially for her warm, engaging presence on – and off – stage. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Carey’s wry and often self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend. Carey has been singing at festivals, colleges, and listening rooms across the US, Canada and Europe since 1998, performing alongside Brandi Carlile, Sara Bareilles, Glen Phillips (of Toad the Wet Sprocket), and Shawn Colvin. She’s also been a featured artist on PRI’s Mountain Stage. Americana Highways called her 2022 release "The Veil" "one of the best of the year" and Basic Folk listed it as #4 on their "Top 10 of 2022 So Far" alongside Anais Mitchell and Aoife O’Donovan.
