You never know what is going on in real life behind someone's “makeup” and their "online persona" unless you take the time to listen to their story.
As a story-teller, Lipstick in Las Vegas is one of my favorite songs to sing. Beautifully written by Scott Parker and Sam Gay, this lyric is so well-crafted and detailed. I have found through the years that it really resonates with audiences so many levels, especially us women….. body image, aging, working, raising family, keeping love alive… As the lyric says, “the show must go on”.
Is there a line in the song that resonates with you?

Veteran Nashville singer/songwriter, Caryl Mack, has found her voice again. After taking a hiatus from the music biz, she is stepping back in with a seasoned perspective and rediscovering the simple JOY of singing and making music, curating a community of music makers and music appreciators.
Caryl recently returned to the recording studio working on a new collection of songs with husband and songwriter, Scott Parker, and their long time friend and writing partner, Ronn Chick. “This time around I wanted the music to have a little retro feel. I wanted it to feel familiar, comfortable. We took our time. We called our musician friends and top session players in Nashville. We pulled in elements from some of my favorite musical influences of the 70’s and 80’s seasoned with all the ingredients from my own personal musical journey.
The first single, “Landed on Love”, is a simple love song. It’s a light hearted look at falling in love. Falling means you gotta land somewhere. And when it’s in the arms of someone you love, it’s a great place to land.“
