Carrie Hassler and Josh Williams presenting at the 2008 IBMA Awards Show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN
Carrie has been influenced by a wide range of talents including Sheri
Easter, a gospel singer who tinged her music with some bluegrass sounds
along with the gospel message; Etta James, Patsy Cline, Dale Ann Bradley
and Alison Krauss. "To this day, I remember the people I
looked up to and I hope to make the same kind of mark in lives as these
women did in mine," said Carrie.
