Former Windham Hill Records recording artist and Los Angeles resident Carol Tatum is available as a solo harpist, harp duo (harp/flute or harp/cello) and harp trio (harp/flute/cello) and performs with her internationally acclaimed group "Angels Of Venice."

Carol performs for WEDDINGS, corporate and private events, parties, festivals, etc., and has an in-depth knowledge of event planning.

Carol and her group, Angels of Venice, have performed for The Screen Actors Guild Awards (first two years), Henry Kissinger, Cardinal Roger Mahoney, Phyllis Diller, Bob Hope, Sting, Don Henley and many more. Carol has also played for The City Of Los Angeles, The City Of Beverly Hills, The City Of Pasadena, The City Of Alhambra, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, etc. and for charities such as WeSpark (recently seen on 'Entertainment Tonight' and 'Access Hollywood' {July, 2004}), Project Angel Food, Children's Health Coalition, etc.

Carol appeared as a harpist in a wedding scene on the reality show 'Renovate My Family' (Sept. 2004) with Jay McGraw (Dr. Phil's son). Carol also appeared in an episode of 'Extreme Makeovers: Wedding Edition' in May, 2005, Channel 7/ABC with Liza Minelli singing for the reception.

BIOGRAPHY/CREDITS: Carol has TOURED THE UNITED STATES and was a featured artist on Windham Hill's 'Winter Solstice' tour performing at The Kennedy Center and other performing arts centers (3,500+ seats). Her Windham Hill CD 'Angels of Venice' was submitted by her record label for a Grammy nomination. She is on twelve Windham Hill compilation CDs including 'Conversations with God, Disc 2,' 'Here, There and Everywhere: The Songs of the Beatles,' 'Winter Solstice On Ice' (including DVD), 'Summer Solstice I,' 'Summer Solstice II,' and more. Carol is a member of S.A.G. (Screen Actors Guild) and her music has been featured in documentaries, commercials and the feature film "Big Bully" with veteran soul group The Dramatics.

Carol has five independent CDs SOLD WORLDWIDE. Carol's recordings have been featured on NPR's syndicated radio program 'Echoes' airing to 165 national radio stations and are also sold worldwide including Japan and Europe. Her second CD 'Awake Inside A Dream' was reviewed in Billboard Magazine and 'highly recommended.' Carol's most recent recording is a holiday CD entitled 'Sanctus' which was featured on an NPR radio show and played in it's entirety twice on Christmas Day. For more information about Carol's recordings, please visit (search 'Carol Tatum' or 'Angels of Venice'). UPDATE: Carol is currently recording a new CD which will be released in Summer, 2008. This will be Carol's SIXTH CD.

WEDDING INFORMATION: Most brides do not realize that an unamplified harp is hard to hear. Most harpists only play acoustically or through a small amplifier. CAROL PLAYS THROUGH A PROFESSIONAL P.A. SYSTEM, and a professional soundman monitors her performances, which results in the very best possible sound for your important event.

Carol's RATES ARE REASONABLE and she will travel from Santa Barbara to Palm Springs to San Diego and all of Southern California as well as to Arizona, Las Vegas, Texas, etc. and any out-of-state arrangements can be made. Themed events, such as the Renaissance or Middle Eastern, are available (Carol also plays the hammered dulcimer in the middle eastern/santour style). Percussion can be added to any musician combination and this is a unique and refreshing way to showcase classical instruments instead of a standard string quartet sound.

Special atmospheric LIGHTING is also available (PAR 20s, 40s, etc.) with amber, pink, violet, blue, etc. gels to create a 'large production' mood. Very large P.A. systems and lighting provided to Carol by G2 Audio, Los Angeles, California. Special props and costuming for themed events can also be provided.

Carol enjoys performing for weddings because it is one of the most spiritual days of any person's life and Carol is honored to be a part of it. Her performances are not just songs from sheet music. Carol embeds FEELING AND EMOTION INTO EVERY SONG played to create a magical, joyous atmosphere for you and your guests. A personal, emotional connection to your wedding is very important to Carol; playing harp is not just a job to Carol...it is an honor.

Carol resides in Glendale, California and works with her fiance, Ted Paulson, who is Hollywood's #1 firebreather for movies and television ('Charlie's Angels,' 'Coyote Ugly,' 'Big Fat Liar,' etc.). Ted and Carol also book variety arts acts and DJs for the entertainment industry and have an in-depth, intimate knowledge of event and party planning.
