Book Talk with your host Lawrence J. King and Caroline Cotter

Lawrence J. King would like to welcome Caroline Cotter as our special guest on Book Talk Radio. Caroline Cotter is a singer songwriter, traveler, artist, teacher and eternal student. The youngest of three, Caroline grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, always singing with family, in the glee club, choruses and in her church choir. At age 5 she began piano lessons but stopped at 13, unamused by the rigidity of studying. She continued with music on her own, inspired by the Indigo Girls, Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Tori Amos, and Karen Carpenter. At 16 she began teaching herself to play the guitar. In college, the always enthusiastic singer continued with her passion and sang as a member of the Colbyettes (one of Colby’s all female a cappella groups) for four years and on occasion lit up the stage in the school’s Broadway musical revues. It was also at Colby College that Caroline discovered her passion for travel. In February of 2005 she began studies in Chile where she lived for 6 months.After graduating from Colby in 2006, she moved to Thailand to discover a different part of the globe and a new culture. She lived and worked in Thailand for the school year teaching 3 and 4 year olds at a bilingual school. Back in the States in the spring and summer of 2009, Caroline drove around the east coast visiting family and friends and spreading her music. In late summer she took another road trip down south and then out west to Colorado. After a year and a half, the same drive was done in reverse and Colorado was left behind. 2011 invites new travels: January in Peru, and February through May in Porto, Portugal.
