Carrie Elkin announces 'The Penny Collector' due April 7th 2017

The eagerly awaited new solo album from Carrie Elkin 'The Penny Collector', her first in six years, is set for release on April 7th. In the years since her last solo release 'Call It My Garden' Elkin has toured as a member of the Sam Baker Trio and in a duo with her husband Danny Schmidt while she has faced both heartbreak and joy in her personal life. Much more about Carrie Elkin, the new album and her upcoming tour dates follows:

The Penny Collector is Austin, Texas-based singer-songwriter Carrie Elkin's long-awaited new solo album. After touring extensively as a featured vocalist with the Sam Baker Trio and as a duo performer with her husband Danny Schmidt, this is Elkin's highly anticipated return to her solo work.

Written in a year that was bookended by the birth of Elkin's first child and the process of caretaking her father through the dying process, The Penny Collector is a poet's momentous stroll full circle around the human lifecycle in one single year. It's a journey that is beautifully told, fragile and heartbreaking at times, joyous and raucous in others.

And Elkin once again delivers the powerhouse vocal performance that people have come to expect, with delicate waves of intimacy that build to astonishing crests and crashes of intensity.
