AMP Concerts Presents Carolyn Wonderland

"The more guitar you play, the more you sing, the better you get," says award-winning Texas guitar slinger, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Carolyn Wonderland. Since performing her first professional gig at age 15, she's never stopped singing and making music. Her music includes a bold mix of timeless original songs and reinventions of some of her favorites, ranging from blistering electric blues to deep, heartfelt ballads to cosmic country to soulful Tex-Mex. Every song is fueled by Wonderland's forceful yet melodic Texas-flavored guitar work and her full-throated, heart-on-her-sleeve vocals.

She's recorded ten previous albums under her own name, including four produced by famed musician Ray Benson, founder of multiple Grammy-winning band Asleep At The Wheel. Wonderland, who spent the last three years as lead guitarist in John Mayall's Blues Breakers, now joins the Alligator Records family as the first female guitar hero in the label's storied 50-year history. Her spine-chilling, soul-deep singing matches her guitar prowess note for note. And she has a knack for writing songs that sound like instant classics. Her Alligator Records debut, the Dave Alvin-produced Tempting Fate, is the next chapter in Wonderland's remarkable story, one that is already overflowing with countless and colorful once-in-a-lifetime experiences. 

This show will be all seated.

Tickets cost $25 in advance, $30 day of show (plus service charges). They are also available by phone through Hold My Ticket at 505-886-1251.
