Wild Carrot Wild Carrot's entertaining and moving performances have something for everyone. Their performances have often been described as "honest, soothing, uplifting and fun all at the same time", moving an audience from laughter to tears and back again in a way that makes the listener feel like they're in a conversation with old friends. All of this adds up to a performance that's been described as "seamless", "life-sized complex, subtle and powerful" and "a joy." Carrot Shtick - News January, 2012Happy New Year!

Two-Time Cultural Ambassadors with the US State Department We are honored to have been chosen twice to tour Chile as "Folk Music Ambassadors". It is a beautiful country and we were lucky to see more of it than most Chileans do as we toured up and down the coast playing festivals, concerts and master classes. Here are a few shots. Our hearts go out to our hosts and friends rebuilding after 2010's devastating earthquake. 
"Zanahoria Silvestre" on the stage!

Spencer on a typical "street" in Valparaiso, Chile, our favorite place in Chile. It's an artists' town, built on seven steep hills above a bay. When we win the lottery, we're gonna move here.
