Album Notes

Caitlin Nicol-Thomas is an original singer/songwriter/violinist with a fresh writing style rooted in the values of the Midwest and blended with the progressive ideals of the Northeast. Her alternative, folky blues sound is accented by her refreshing vocal style that is both strong and achingly vulnerable. Her debut album, 'Troubled Times' was produced by Nashville producer, John Gilbertson, and was released in July 2008 to rave reviews. Caitlin was born and raised in Indianola, Iowa. Despite her strong love for home, she ventured out, living in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston, gaining experience in each city's club circuit. While in Boston, she attended and graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where she honed her songwriting, singing, and violin skills. When she’s not playing and recording her original material, Caitlin can also be found playing fiddle and acoustic guitar for other Nashville artists. Caitlin recently returned from an Armed Forces Entertainment tour of military bases in Iraq and Kuwait. This life-changing experience reaffirmed Caitlin's desire to entertain and bring joy and hope to others with her music.
