Caroline Glass ran away with the circus when she was 22. She toured internationally with Cirque du Soleil for three years playing oboe and ethnic woodwinds in the seven piece band Dralion. Since leaving the circus in 2005 she released an EP of her original music, “Caroline Glass & Friends,” collaborated with Joseph Arthur on the mostly instrumental album “The Invisible Parade” and recorded with many artists, including Artis the Spoonman, Amy Denio, Seb Martel, and Tommy Jordan (Geggy Tah). Caroline blends her oboe, English horn, accordion, bass saxophone, bass clarinet and piccolo into trippy chamber pop — a modern style of baroque pop characterized by an infusion of orchestral arrangements or classical type composition within an indie or indie pop setting. (She often has been compared with indie-folk revivalist Sufjan Stevens.) She lives in Montreal. |
