St. Olaf Orchestra alum, Carrie Bartsch, lives, loves and laughs music. She followed her fiddle around the States and Europe, and by accident, went to Hollywood, stayed, and performed, toured and/or recorded with Gnarls Barkely, Brian Wilson, Love with Arthur Lee, Kanye West, 30 Seconds to Mars, Three Dog Night, The Left Banke, Apple Hill Chamber Music Ensembles (New Hampshire), members of The Kinks and Dramarama, and whomoever asked, "Can you show up?"
She appeared with/on Kanye West for a Tom Cruise gala; the Crystal Cathedral orchestra; the TV show "House,"; David Benoit's Orchestra at the Kodak Theatre; the movie "Walk Hard"; and a Conan O'Brien Tonight Show episode. She recorded on several albums, TV show and movie tracks, including but not limited to the Ellen DeGeneres Show; Drawn Together and other fun cartoons; A & E biography specials; Nickelodeon shows; serious documentaries; and did movie stuff with Jack Black and Mandy Patinkin.
She has also shared the stage with: Hal Wilner's SNL Randy Newman and Firesign Theatre productions, John C. Reilly, Jackson Browne, John Goodman, George Wendt, Kirsten Vangsness (Criminal Minds), Tom Lenk (Buffy), Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek), Todd Rundgren, Victoria Williams, Tom Fowler (Ray Charles Trio) Ellen Greene (Little Shop of Horrors), Frank Conniff (MST 3000), Paul F. Tomkins, Samm Levine (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Jimmy Fallon, Grant Lee Phillips, and Jill Sobule.
She then succumbed to live comedy improv sketches as Dave "Gruber" Allen's Scandinavian sidekick at Largo, the Upright Citizens Brigade, and the Steve Allen Theatre. Other credits include work with Jerry Seinfeld co-stars, Jay Leno writers, and suspicious Sarah Silverman Show stage-folk.
Now it's all serious joy, jigs, jazz, tangos, tarantellas, brahms, bach, and other fantastic fests with long-lost musical master guitarist: all-around nice guy and partner in musical crimes and bliss-demeanors, Mr. Michael Delalla.
