Caroline Kingsbury - a Celebration of the Release of Heaven's Just A Flight
Join us to celebrate the release of Caroline Kingsbury's new album, "Heaven's Just A Flight"
This Caroline Kingsbury record is so close to a massive pop album, the kind you hear out on Republic Records with hundreds of thousands of dollars sunk into it so that it blasts out your speakers absolutely perfectly, the kind of inescapable music you hear taking over the airwaves and internet. And yet, its something else entirely. Its the story of a young artist begging, borrowing and stealing to just get her voice heard, and of all the desperation and hard days cutting through. With each song you can actually hear a young kid who moved from Florida writing in her bedroom and starting out on her own in her cheap Hollywood apartment. You are right alongside her chasing those massive pop sounds, going to work day after day at the local grocery, and going on tour with a band for the first time. Feel her tenacity waver as she gets stuck in a sleazy contract, as her agent leaves her, and as her first serious relationship falls apart. The record lands in this strange place that is really like the sound of our own dreams. It takes you right there with her. Its not so shiny, not so escapist anymore. Sometimes its really hard. Sometimes its broken. Sometimes dreams dont come true but we keep trying.
Entitled Heavens Just a Flight, its the story of a queer artist from a religious family coming out to the world, meeting her girlfriend, finding her people and her place. Its the story of her older brothers battle with cancer, his sudden passing just as she arrives home from her first national tour, just as shes set to release her first single. The music is bursting at its seams. You feel her story, her experience. Its the sound of a really big voice in a small world.
