Carmen Townsend at Governors Beer Garden

233 Esplanade, Sydney

902-562-7646



For Cape Breton’s Carmen Townsend, music is as natural as breathing. You’ll always catch her with a guitar, but she considers herself less a singer-songwriter and more a rock ‘n’ roller. With a highly original vocal and guitar approach that you quickly find yourself familiar with, Carmen Townsend has a presence that fills the room. Inspired and electric both in sound and lyrical impact, her words conjure up the highs and lows we all experience in life while at the same time chronicling her own story through captivating songs. From Austin to Australia, Cape Breton to Connecticut, and everywhere in between, Carmen’s live show is renowned for its intensity. Or as Matt Andersen says, “If Rock ‘n’ Roll was walking down the street …it would be wearing a Carmen Townsend T-Shirt.”
