Caroline Weeks
Folk / Alternative
Having toured the states with Lewis & Clarke and performed across the UK, Caroline has gained cult status as a solo artist since stepping out from Bat for Lashes, for whom she will be opening on several dates of their forthcoming April UK Tour (see below for live dates). Her music has been compared to everyone from Karen Dalton to Sandy Denny.
Having been a full time member of Bat For Lashes for over three years, Caroline previously performed under the name Ginger Lee, but having discovered (via a somewhat shocking Google search) that a young American lady who appears to relish having her photo taken in the nude shared this particular moniker, Caroline has now reverted to using her family name.
Born and bred on the Sussex coast, Caroline comes from a long line of musicians: in the 1920s the fifteen-strong "Weeks brass band" was famed across East Sussex, while, more recently, her Grandfather can be seen playing the church organ in the movie of Stella Gibbons' Cold Comfort Farm.
