Carrie Akre
Often referred to as, “The Queen of Seattle Music”, Carrie Akre is a
musician best known for her work with Seattle underground bands
Hammerbox and Goodness.
With a vocal delivery that is at once aggressive, haunting and melodic,
Akre’s style of female rock-vox is comparable, yet superior, to the
likes of 80s power-vixens Pat Benetar or Lita Ford, and she is one of
the few women to carry that strong vocal flavour into the 1990s with the
advent of grunge and the rise in popularity of alternative rock.
Since Goodness disbanded in 1998, she has contributed vocals to the
project band The Rockfords (which included Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready on
guitar), and released two solo albums, ‘Home and ‘Invitation’, the
latter the first release on her own record label, ‘My Way Records’. As
of 2007, she’s currently in the studio working on her third solo
release.
Akre’s solo work is a change of direction, with a more stripped back
and soulful approach broadening her style as a musician.
