Originally from Vermont, Elle Carpenter has been singing as long as she’s been walking. She spent significant childhood years touring around the country with four siblings and her mother, performing and doing workshops at folk festivals, schools and other events. At age 6 she recorded her first record as a back-up singer with the "Wee-bops" of Central Vermont. At age 8, Carpenter sang on another album as the youngest member of the "Fiddleheads". From age 10 to 16 she toured with world music group Village Harmony, around the USA, UK, Canada, Denmark and Germany. In 2009, after recording and releasing her first solo album, Carpenter was flown to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to perform at the White Palace for a month.
Carpenter writes about life experiences – what she is living through or witnessing at the moment, and expresses true honesty in words.
Second album 'With Open Hands' was produced by Ignacio "Iggy" Elisavetsky and released November 12, 2011. Third album "Simple Girl" was a collaboration between Carpenter, brother Will Carpenter (Ships Have Sailed, 7lions) and Scotty Lund (Kansas City Bankroll): released Jan 2, 2014. In between writing and recording these albums, Carpenter has enjoyed touring the States, expanding a bit further each year.
Carpenter's fourth album "Life Just Happens to You" is an unplugged story of the journey we take through life, from the most positive perspective. She was excited to return to her folk roots for this album, and will be touring the U.S. following its release: May 22, 2015.
Carpenter is also a working actor and has appeared on such TV shows as House M.D., Grey's Anatomy, Conan'O Brien, Cake Wars, and Wave Goodbye.
