ADAM CARROLL
Want to hear a good story? Listen to any Adam Carroll song. His Texas peers sure have, over and over again, and are quick to heap superlatives on a stoic artist whose compositions provide a solitary glimpse into a verdant imagination.
Jon Dee Graham says Carroll "may be the best songwriter that Texas ever produced," while Robert Earl Keen proclaims, "If all were right with the world, Adam Carroll would be the Townes Van Zandt of our age."
"His lyrics are like a good book: They take you somewhere and leave you better than they found you," says Terri Hendrix.
Slaid Cleaves calls Carroll "the quintessential small-town songwriter," adding, "Travel outside the cities of this country and you'll recognize the barbecue-joint waitresses, the rice farmers, the karaoke singers, the black-flag pirates and the hi-fi lovers of this land--you'll meet them all in Adam's true-to-life songs."

CHRIS CARROLL
For most kids, a broken radio in the family van might get in the way of singalongs. But Chris Carroll’s dad loved John Prine, and she’d fill the dead air with “Sam Stone,” entertaining a pair of younger brothers. A little sister followed years later. Carroll was born in Toronto, but grew up in St. Catharines. “We did a lot of camping; we made the best of it,” she says. “The north part of Ontario is breathtaking.”

Still, it wasn’t easy, and she had some things to overcome. In her mid-thirties she wound up caring for her grandmother until she died. Oma’s passing proved cataclysmic; she once told Carroll, “Nothing else makes you happy, so why don’t you just play your music?” So, says Carroll, “I decided to take a chance on my music at 36.”“I started booking gigs, it was wild,” she adds.

One of those gigs was a slot alongside some country-folk heavyweights at the 2012 Cicada Festival in St. Catharines. Michael O’Connor and Adam Carroll had traveled north from Texas, and they blew Chris away. “Adam played ‘Rice Birds.’ That’s an incredible song,” she recalls. “And then he played ‘Old Milwaukee’s Best,’ and I just busted up. It’s so funny. I’d never heard songwriting like that live. Then I heard O’Connor play; just the troubadour, the musicianship—I’d never seen that before. There was something different with those two.”

After the festival, during a picking circle, Chris and Adam gravitated toward each other. Adam headed home to Texas, and later I got an email that said he liked my songs. Up to that point, we were just friends. He wrote me a song, ‘Little Runaway,’ from some of the things I had told him about my life. My friend Angela told me to get my passport because I was going to Texas. I was going through some serious stuff and he was depressed. He had to come out of his depression and I had to tone it down a bit. It worked for us. He didn’t talk to anybody, but he’d talk to me.”
