about
Vocalist and Songwriter, Carol Lipnik, grew up in Coney Island in the midst of its long decline. Her earliest memories are of shyly pedaling a blue banana seat bicycle around the abandoned amusement park (especially off season) and staring up at the totem-like decaying rides. After studying fine arts at Pratt Institute and The Art Students League, Carol opted for the immediate emotional gratification of singing, and found that she had a natural knack for it, as well as a seemingly limitless 4 & 1/2 octave vocal range. She drew from her visual arts training to create a singular cinematic style rooted in Blues, Pre War Berlin Cabaret, Folk, etc, as filtered through her very own Carnival, and Psychedelic sensibilities. Carol and her band Spookarama (named for Coney's ramshackle spookhouse) are currently performing as a trio with Dred Scott on organ, accordion, piano and percussion (often simultaneously), and Jacob Lawson on electric violin and electronics. They have enjoyed a loyal and steadily growing following on the New York club scene. They are currently working on a new recording.
