Album Notes

Best known for her work with Seattle rock bands Hammerbox and Goodness, Carrie Akre truly came into her own when she stepped out as a solo artist three years ago. She announced her freedom with the release of a single in 1999 and followed it up with the remarkably mature and eclectic album Home, released in 2000 on Good-Ink Records..

Now Akre is back with Invitation, her second album and the first to be
released on her own label, the appropriately titled My Way Records. It's another step forward for an artist blessed with a strong voice and the vision to match. This release finds Akre at the top of her game - a talented vocalist whose life experiences shine forth with a heretofore untapped strength. That inner power, hope and charisma shine throughout Invitation's 12 songs - inviting the listener to come along for the ride.
