Cari Hutson
Gritty to the core, uncompromising and fearless
Rock, Singer-Songwriter
Full Band (6-pc)
"I hear a lot of bands and many of them are great, but every now and again you hear one that can only be described as special. Heart, soul, and a voice to die for and she lays it all out when she performs." —Scott Ward owner of Strange Brew Lounge Side Austin, TX
BIOGRAPHY
Hutson, a military brat, was born in Austin but spent her formative years in Southern California, Okinawa, Japan, and Slidell, Louisiana. It was as a teenager, “sneaking off” with her girlfriends to nearby New Orleans, that she experienced her first taste of live music. “It was something I’d never seen before,” she says, marveling at the palpable electric charge of passion and intimate connection that blurred the line between the band and audience. That awakening synced up nicely with her move back to the live music hotbed of Austin for college — or close enough, anyway. She landed in San Marcos, 30 miles south, ostensibly to study musical theater at Southwest Texas State — but her real education came off campus, singing in sweaty rehearsal spaces (Tom Thumb Mini-storage units) and even sweatier bars with her first two bands, Remedy and Blu Funk Junction. Performing as part of a live band, freestyle and in-the-moment, was truly her calling.
