She has appeared at the Earshot Art of Jazz Series, Bumbershoot, Dimitriou's Jazz Alley, Tula's, the Royal Room and many other venues on the west coast. She was sponsored by the U.S. State Department for performance/teaching tours of South America and Europe, and has released three critically acclaimed recordings. She holds a BFA in music from the Cornish College, and an MA in musicology from the University of Washington. She has taught various combinations of voice, piano, and music history at Cornish, UW, Seattle Pacific University, Highline College, and South Seattle College. Carolyn has developed a series of presentations on music and well-being (The Power of Music) and has partially completed a series of interviews that explores the sociology of the jazz community throughout the PNW and beyond. “…jazz singer Carolyn Graye has a uniquely witty, conversational style.” Prague Post “…Graye sings, plays and composes. She does all of them well.” Jazz Times “…reminds me of June Christy, only with warm blood instead of liquid nitrogen in her veins.” The Stranger “…Graye’s debut CD is one of the top picks of the year…” Seattle Weekly
