Country’s Newest Carrie Zaruba Pins Her Legacy with Legends of Rock

Country’s newest vocal vixen vagabond, Carrie Zaruba has been named one of the most recent inspirations for the iconic Hard Rock Cafe Nashville pin series. The “Save The Planet” pin blends Hard Rock’s eco-friendly initiative with Carrie’s spirited, artsy style.

On the decision to work with Carrie on the design and image, Hard Rock Cafe Nashville’s Manager of Sales and Marketing, Rachal Smith said, “When we were discussing the recent industry showcase Carrie did at the Hard Rock Cafe Nashville just a few weeks ago and saw her current photo shoot for her newly released EP Woman On A Mission, we knew her image would be a great fit for a modern mother-nature….A true beauty with an edgy style and a big voice!”

The pin is designed as part of the Hard Rock Cafe’s environmental campaign, fusing the visualization of Carrie’s spirited musical creativity and style, and confirms her status as one of Nashville’s hottest up-and-coming artists. Stars previously honored with Hard Rock Cafe pins include The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, and many famous Nashville landmarks. Pins will be available at Nashville location’s Rock Shop or by calling the café.

After getting a kick start from her American Idol Top 100 journey, Carrie is well on her way to becoming country music’s next soulful vixen. She co-wrote all six songs on her brand new album, including her current single, “Woman On A Mission,” which was produced by Grammy-nominated Kent Wells (Dolly Parton). She has also been selected by CMA (Country Music Association) as one of the artists to watch for in 2013 and will also be gracing a Debut Spotlight feature in their upcoming issue of CMA Close Up.

Carrie is separating herself from the rest in regards to another one of her passions by partnering up with PULP Cosmetics as the new ‘PULP Chick’ and releasing a monthly video series “Razzle Dazzle,” sponsored by Music City Encore. With musical influences such as The Dixie Chicks, Little Big Town, Stevie Nicks, and Patti Griffin, her rich musical education includes the renowned Baltimore School for the Arts and rigorous classical vocal training as a Lyric Mezzo Soprano in a conservatory setting. She has studied vocal performance in opera and jazz at The University of the Arts, Philadelphia, completing the Bachelors program in Music.
