Carrie Newcomers music has always explored the intersection of the spiritual and the daily, the sacred and the ordinary. Over the course of her career she has become a prominent voice for progressive spirituality, social justice and interfaith dialogue. Her ability for sharp observation of the world lead the Dallas Morning News to rave, She's the kind of artist whose music makes you stop, think and then say, that is so true.
In 2011 and 2012, Carrie joined Parker J. Palmer for a special collaboration called Healing The Heart of Democracy: A Gathering of Spirits for the Common Good, based on his book Healing the Heart of Democracy. This collaboration was designed to create a new political conversation and reclaim our common narrative.
Throughout her career, she has created several presentations and PBS specials and worked extensively with beloved authors, scientists and progressive theologians, including Barbara Kingsolver, Jill Bolte Taylor (Transformative Stories), Phillip Gulley (Home and Habitat), Marcus Borg, Jim Wallis, Brian McLaren and Scott Russell Sanders (Wilderness Plots, Myths, Miracles, Lyrics and Lies, Four Friends).
Carrie nationally and internationally facilitates workshops and presents keynotes on the topics of songwriting, spirituality and vocation at colleges, universities, and spiritual communities, retreat centers. Newcomer, a Quaker, cuts across secular and spiritual boundaries. In recent years, she has emerged as a respected and recognized artistic voice for the progressive spiritual community.
She has been described as a soaring songstress by Billboard, a prairie mystic by the Boston Globe, and Rolling Stone has declared that Newcomer asks all the right questions. Author Barbara Kingsolver wrote, Shes a poet, storyteller, snake-charmer, good neighbor, friend and lover, minister of the wide-eyed gospel of hope and grace.
On the topic of sacramental living Newcomer says, We dont live days, we live moments. In an ever-accelerating world that does not encourage reflection, presence has become a personal choice and decision. We will have to decide if our response to a limited amount of time is to speed up and never really be present, or to slow down to the speed of soul and savor what is momentary and now.
Part of my work as a writer is to put into language and music moments of wonder that have no words. The result is her latest release, Kindred Spirits: A Collection a resonant soundtrack for a world that is both sacred and ordinary, reflective and forward thinking.
