Holly Carter is a singer-songwriter and multi-award-winning instrumentalist who, at 29 years old, has already established a reputation as one of Bristol’s leading fingerstyle guitarists and is one of the UK’s only professional female pedal steel players.

 

Drawing inspiration from a varied musical upbringing, her musicality entwines aspects of folk, roots and Americana to create a mix that echoes everything from the likes of Gillian Welch to Chet Atkins.

​

Harnessing an approach to music as a powerful tool for education and change, her songs weave joyously catchy melodies with thought-provoking lyrics that pay homage to a diverse collection of musical and personal heroes.
