She is woman, hear her roar! Singer-songwrrter-guitarist-keyboardist JILL CAROLE belts it out this week on local stages before setting out on a UK tour next month with former Zombie Colin Blunstone.

A graduate of the Berklee School of Music, Carole just released her new CD entitled The Easter Bunny, Sex and Santa Claus and it's a doozie. Her lyrics are smart and sassy, with enough humor to offset the serious subject matter-love, betrayal and revenge, sung with a bittersweet resonance that reverberates in the heart.

Her vibrant independence is reminiscent of Kate Bush or Tori Amos or maybe a mature Fiona Apple, but Carole knows not to take herself too seriously and delivers a smile after the heavy stuff.Onstage, she commands attention with a whipping head of hair and that alluring voice.

Catch her now, before she's off across the Atlantic.

Jill Carole will perform Thursday, April 9 at New George's in San Rafael at 9pm with guitarist/bassist Paul Robinson. She and Robinson are also scheduled to perform Tuesday April 14 at the Sweetwater in Mill Valley as part of the Local Gold showcase and Friday, April 24 at Borders Books In San Rafael.
