Tween Rising Star, Suite Caroline, Will Headline 4th Friday in February

Slated to be the next big thing, 12 year-old Caroline Kudelko, known as Suite Caroline, will be the headliner at February’s 4th Friday in Downtown Clearwater.

Some say she is a prodigy.  When she was 8, she started playing guitar and writing songs.  When she was 10, she released her debut album.  She has opened for Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood and been a supporting musician for Brad Paisley and Leanne Rimes.  She’s Suite Caroline, who others are calling the newest tween rising star and she will be the headliner at February’s 4th Friday Clearwater Street Party on February 27th in Downtown Clearwater.  Kenny McGee is opening for her and the party is free to the public.  It starts at 5:30pm and goes until 10pm. 

 

12 year-old Suite Caroline credits Taylor Swift and George Strait as being her mentors in lyrics to one of her songs, but Caroline clearly has her own musical style, which you can hear in the batch of songs she recorded in Nashville.  She's creates songs filled with positive messages and her performances are many despite her young age:  Fox Good Day Tampa Bay; ABC Action News Tampa Bay Morning Show; WQYK’s Fun in the Sun Festival; Jazz Holiday; the St Pete Times Forum and the Ford Amphitheatre to name just a few.

 

4th Friday is expecting a large crowd to hear Suite Caroline perform.  Beer and wine proceeds at the event will benefit the Miles for Hope Charity, a charity dedicated to not only finding a cure for brain cancer, but creating a better quality of life for those suffering with it.
