Carrie Hassler's amazing voice, highly entertaining performances, and numerous #1 albums and #1 singles have garnered great attention and helped her to cross many genres of music over the last several years. She has received the Country Song of the Year Award by Strictly Country Magazine, two IBMA nominations for her work on "The All-Star Jam Live at Graves Mountain", received a SPBGMA Nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year, appeared on the cover of Bluegrass Music Profiles Magazine, and more. She garnered a #1 country single, "Country Strong" on European country radio and most recently hit the coveted #1 spot on SiriusXM Radio Bluegrass Junction's Most Played Tracks in October 2012 with her song, "Luxury Liner."
"Luxury Liner" is from her latest project, THE DISTANCE and was the first single release from this long awaited new album. The song comes from Country Rock legend songwriter/artist Gram Parsons that Carrie beautifully transforms into a hard drivin' bluegrass barn burner.

THE DISTANCE includes a wide range of musical styles that represent Carrie's incredible vocal talent and diversity as she performs heart and soul love songs, beautiful ballads, Patsy Cline Country, Country Inspirational, to hard drivin' Bluegrass hand-picked by Carrie herself.
