WHO IS CAROLINE DARE?
The Full Story
Caroline Dare is a Nashville, TN based pop songwriter/artist, mental health advocate, and certified cat mom. Originally from North Carolina, Caroline made the permanent move to Nashville at age 18 after travelling back and forth from her home state since the age of 12.
During those early years, she focused on her songwriting, guitar, performance, and vocal skills to build a strong foundation for the future. She also started posting her original songs on social media at an early age which has now grown into a loyal organic fanbase.
Caroline is immersed in the Nashville songwriting community and hosts early shows at the Bluebird Café and frequent rounds at The Listening Room Café. She is also an active member with ASCAP who nominated her for the Peggy Lee Songwriter Award which recognizes songwriters who demonstrate intelligent use of language, talent, and career potential.
Her recent projects have been produced with hitmaker Nick Wheeler of The All-American Rejects (“Gives You Hell, “Dirty Little Secret”) at the helm who says of Caroline, “Caroline is a master of melody, and after working with her for almost 4 years now, I can honestly say that she puts in the work, and it shows in her growth as a songwriter and a storyteller.”
She is a regular performer at The Bluebird Café, The Listening Room, and Nashville’s top songwriter rounds. Her work has been produced by Nick Wheeler of The All-American Rejects (“Gives You Hell,” “Dirty Little Secret”), who describes Caroline as a "master of melody" with a relentless work ethic and a gift for storytelling.
Caroline’s talent was first recognized by the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) at just 11 years old when she was named “One To Watch” for a solo composition. Since then, she has continued to make waves in the industry, winning the 2022 NSAI Member Awards Song Feedback Category for her song “Heart Problem” and landing on the NSAI Top 40 three times in the last year.
