Caroline Spence

Caroline Spence is a singer-songwriter based in Nashville, TN. Her five solo albums have been featured by publications like Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and NPR. Established artists like Emmylou Harris, Matt Berninger of The National, Sarah Jarosz and Lori McKenna have joined Caroline on her songs as featured vocalists and her body of work has been streamed over 80 million times. Caroline has toured as the opening act for artists such as Tyler Childers, Mary Chapin Carpenter, John Moreland, Madi Diaz, Hayes Carll, and American Aquarium in addition to headlining shows across the US, the UK, and Europe. Caroline also loves writing with other artists for their projects as well as with producers for film & tv. Her songs have been placed in television shows on ABC, NBC, Fox and Apple TV as well as in ads for Dove and, most recently, the major motion picture, Lilly, the story of Lilly Ledbetter. Her songs have also been recorded by other artists such as Lucie Silvas, Andrew Combs, Fancy Hagood, Sierra Hull and Clare Bowen. Caroline’s latest album, Heart Go Wild, was released in August of 2025 and reestablishes Spence as an independent artist, arriving after her multi-year run of albums with Rounder Records. She makes the most of that freedom, exploring new techniques in the studio and new directions in her songs. Co-produced Spence, Mark Campbell and Peter Groenwald, the album balances craft with creative experimentation, making room for pop anthems (“Fun at Parties”), emotionally bare ballads (“Confront It”), beat-driven explorations of self (“Soft Animal”), and left-field influences. The result is her most imaginative interpretation of modern-day roots music to date, reaching beyond the swooning, soft-hued Americana of her earlier work to showcase just how colorful and wide-ranging her artistry can be.
