Dee Carstensen is a New York City-based alternative music singer-songwriter and harpist.[1][2]
Personal life[edit]
Carstensen is married to vibist Mike Mainieri.[3]
Career[edit]
Her debut album Beloved One, released in 1993, included guitar work by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits.
Her second album, Regarding the Soul (1995), integrated her singing, songwriting and harp-playing.[4] The Map (1998) was a collaboration with Mainieri.
Dee also recorded a children's album, Can You Hear Lullaby (2001), which featured guest vocals Everett Bradley, Curtis King and Julie Dansky and instrumental work by her husband.
Dee went back into the studio and recorded a solo album, Patch of Blue, which was released in 2005.[3] Unlike previous work, all eight songs were originals, except Fly Away whose music was co-written with her husband, who played vibraphone on the album. Patch of Blue did not include any guitar work. Instead, it featured Dee's harp and vocals, with backing from the Tosca String Quartet and several woodwind players.
