Hi all! :-) Just wanted to let you know that I'm working on a new project these days - but it's very exciting! We're releasing some new songs soonishly as well that I am really excited to share with you!!

We'll be releasing the new tracks late summer/early fall, and in the meanwhile, will be embarking on some really cool summer touring in our region.

New projects will be announced in the fall.

I've posted the complete album tracks for my 'hello' EP on MySpace for you to listen to. www.myspace.com/carolinespence Enjoy!

Join our mailing list to find out more!

Thanks for being our friend and fan!!! :-)

Many hugs,
Caroline

Well, if you're looking for me on the internet, I'm all over on Facebook, Reverbnation, MySpace, Twitter and I think I'm found in a few other places as well. Well, since there's just one of me and we're currently working on new material and reorganizing projects - it takes a bit longer to get to each thing at the moment. I have been thinking of you though - wondering if the people who loyally follow this blog are wondering if I've fallen off the face of the earth.

Well, nooooo --- but as said, we've been busy writing new material - helping some other bands out, and working on a couple of cool new projects. The website will be changing soon too!

Anyway, if you want to touch base, please feel free to add me as a friend on any of the social networks! I'd love to talk to you any time! Thanks so much for your support and yes, we will soon have some new tracks for you to listen to --- they are super cool! Can't wait to share them with you!

Hope you are doing well! And happy SPRING! :-)

Much love and appreciation!
Caroline

Hi there! It's October and just wanted to wish you a very happy Autumnal season! Get out and jump in some leaves and breathe in the spicy air (well, if you are in a climate that has autumn! :-))! We are in the midst of working on new material still -- being creative! But it's very exciting stuff!!! Can't wait to share it with you!

Also, letting anyone from Victoria or who might be in Victoria on Saturday, October 18th -- there will be a brief CSB/Crimson Star siting at the Octofest at Hermann's Jazz Club on View Street. Doors are 7:30pm and show gets rolling at 8pm. Tickets are $8 in advance (you can get them at Lyle's or online at www.cornerstonecollectiverecords.com), or $10 at the door. Also featured that evening will be CSB bandmates, Pauline Edwards and Adam Basterfield showcasing some of their own material and projects. Lots of bands, lots of fun! Hope to see you there!!

Hope you are keeping well!

Lots of hugs,
Caroline :-)

Hi there! Hope you've had a great summer! We have certainly been busy! Caroline Spence Band is now called 'CRIMSON STAR' - check out the new website at www.crimsonstarband.com -- we're in the process of writing new material for a new album and putting together all the creative stuff for launching an all-new band. The core members are still myself, Pauline Edwards and Adam Basterfield. We were just tired of calling our mutual efforts with just my name. Or mostly, I was tired of that - lol! :-) Anyway, we're excited about it and will be working on that project this fall.

This website will be updated to promote my many various projects, and hopefully be more of a creative outlet for me to spout news, views, and songwriting tidbits. Which might be more interesting than it is now. So I hope you will check back and keep in touch. Please join our mailing list, if you haven't already.

Lots of hugs and thanks to you for your support!

Hi everyone who pops by to read this! :-) Thanks for your support!

This month we've been pretty busy with being in the studio starting the recording process and.... with this Sam Roberts contest!!! We actually made it into the finals!! Now we just need to get the most votes to win the whole thing! Starting tonight, March 25th - people should be able to log on to the www.mazdamusictour.com site to vote for us. Each e-mail address counts as a vote - so vote with all your e-mail addresses! You can vote again each day of the contest all the way to April 4th. If you can spread the word too, that would be a super help! By winning, we will get to open for Sam Roberts in our own city -- so that means a free show in Victoria on April 11th!!! Also, we would get some studio time and Mazda might promote the song we do in the studio!

Anyway, your help is appreciated!!

What else is new on the horizon, etc.? We have been asked to showcase at NewMusicWest in May! That will be so much fun! The show will be in Vancouver and we'll have more details soon.

Thank you for all your love and support! We wouldn't be where we are without all of you.

Hugs!
Caroline :-)

Well folks, thanks to all of you who voted for us - we've made it to the next stage in the Mazda Music Tour Contest!! The prize is that we'll get to open for the Sam Roberts Band at a FREE concert he'll play locally, if we win! Yep, we get to have a free Sam Roberts concert AND get to open for him. AND they also give let you record one of your songs at a top notch local studio on their time. SWEET! :-)

So here's what has to happen for us to win the next stage:

ON SATURDAY, MARCH 15th, 2008 - we need you to go to www.mazdamusictour.com and VOTE for the Caroline Spence Band. Each e-mail address is a vote. These are all deleted after the concert, so there's no spam. You can also vote via cell phone as well - but I'll have to get those details to you when I know them myself. We need you to vote and to get as many people on your mailing lists to vote as well. That is your mission, should you choose to help this lil independent band from Victoria, BC! We will be forever grateful to you! You can also e-mail me with your e-mail or cell phone number so I can remind you on that day. info@carolinespence.com

We have to be chosen out of 5 bands for this stage so we would represent our region. We will be playing a LIVE concert at UBC - The Pit on the night of March 15th, if you'd like to come out in person - you can also vote in person as well. Once we pass this level, we would need to have people vote for us for the final level out of the regional winners across Canada - and we will get you details of how to do that, once we would get to that stage.

Anyway, it's exciting news - and we want to thank you so much for your support! :-) Many hugs from the CSB - Caroline, Polly & Adam
