Carla Ulbrich is a comical singer-songwriter and guitarist from Clemson, South Carolina
and currently living in New Jersey. Insert your own punchline here.
Carla has a love of wordplay and a keen observational eye. She is primarily known for her humorous songs about such topics as wedgies, Waffle House, Klingons, and how rich she would be if she had the copyright on the 'F' Word. She also dabbles in fingerstyle guitar, influenced by the likes of Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins.
The Professional Smart Aleck has toured all over the US and England, and has appeared on USA TV, the BBC, Dr. Demento, and The Bob and Sherrie Show and venues such as the Falcon Ridge and Kerrville Folk Festivals, The Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Convention, Club Med, Eddie's Attic, and the Bluebird Cafe.
The former school band geek will be releasing her 5th CD late summer 2009: “Live From Outer Space,” recorded at Sirius XM Radio's Performance Theater.
She is also at work on a book of humorous essays about her adventures as "The Singing Patient," also to be released in early 2010 (pub: Tell Me Press).
Carla, President of the Difficult Last Name Club, has shared the bill with such luminaries as Cheryl Wheeler, Vance Gilbert, Modern Man, Chuck Brodsky, Bob Malone, the Austin Lounge Lizards, Rev. Billy C Wirtz, and Twiggy the Water Skiing Squirrel.
