Tomorrow night, Monday 5.20 is my East Coast record release show @rockwoodmusichall 💫 can’t wait to celebrate with you. 7:30pm || doors at 7pm See you soon, New York ✨ . . . Tickets at carriemanolakos.com/upcomingshows #carriemanolakos #nyc #the44thchord
Over the last year, I’ve had that chance to work on some incredible new projects with @frank_Wildhorn. One is a brand new musical, and one - a beloved musical of his that is becoming a film. Earlier this month we celebrated Frank at the @makeawishamerica Ball, where Frank received the Chris Greicius Award for embodying the organization’s mission to make a lasting impact on children and their families through the power of a wish. It has been such a joy collaborating and also making a difference to so many through music. Excited for what’s to come. #songofbernadette #jeckyllandhydefilm #frankwildhorn #makeawish #tbt
I’m not sure if you can see it on my face... but it’s a feeling of total peace. Where what is inside matches what is outside and all is as it should be. To those of you who were able to come out to the release show on Monday at @thehotelcafe, I cannot thank you enough. And for those of you who sent your love, for both the show and for the record, I feel it. I am beginning to open up in a way I haven’t before and was more vulnerable than I have ever been on a stage. You all hold such tremendous space in regards to that and I hope you know how much respect and admiration I hold for all of you. And as I tell the stories of these songs, and share them they become free as well. Now that this record is ‘released’ you can listen anytime, anywhere, whether I am there or not. And that is pretty cool, too. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for your giving spirits. And thank you for sharing. I cannot wait to see you, #NYC. ✨ // ✨ May 20th @rockwoodmusichall 📸 @annaazarov
#tbt to collaborating with @soulcycle and @spinpimp for their new series #freakshow. Fusing performance and high intensity physical activity was so incredible to witness, to feel and to be a part of. 💪🏻 #soulcycle #nyc #tribeca #carriemanolakos
TOMORROW, MAY 6TH, IS MY RECORD RELEASE in #LOSANGELES! We celebrate “The 44th Chord” as it has been a long time coming. We will go deep. We will get intimate. I promise to be as real as I humanly can, honest as I learned how, and sing only with my heart for you. Get there early. Tag other LA humans. We hit right at 9! #carriemanolakos #la #the44thchord #live
My record The 44th Chord is out everywhere! Today is a big day for me. Some of you have heard this record because you supported it from the moment I spoke it into existence. You are my army of beating hearts and contribution is always with me. And some of you are new hearts to me and I to you. Thank you. I’m glad you are here. I looked up the definition of release because I am curious about words and why we choose that one for music. And perhaps why this one was the hardest for me. Release : to allow or enable to escape from confinement; set free. I am someone who has always found the universe winking, so I could have never predicted what I would experience over these last few years : the vastness that was in me, or that I could possibly go down in the way that I did, to moments where I could not leave my bed, my house, or even see my reflection. This record was made during the most unpredictably challenging time in my life, and now I see - the most courageous. I look at the woman on the cover of this record, and I love her. I know her so well. And I also know what she had to do to be her. I ask that you listen. If you’re able, be in the room with me. In my shows in LA May 6th, and New York on May 20th. I will share : break down, break out, break-in. To doing what I said I would do, no matter what, and to quite possibly going from the scariest period of my life to the healthiest and most powerful I have ever been in my time so far on this planet. I’ve been asked if I’m excited to release this music. Yes. Of course, I am. But excited isn’t the word. It isn’t grounded enough. Perhaps the word is proud, or maybe, the word is whole. And certainly, I am excited to be set free. So today is not only the release of my record, it is celebration and declaration on becoming… Today, is a very big day for me.
Singing with some awesome people on the latest episode of @fosseverdonfx !! Once again, thanks to @alacamoire for the magic and the music. 💫 #samrockwell #michellewilliams #pippin #wegotmagictodo #stephenschwartz #jessicayu

We wrote ‘Made of Stars’ in a couple of hours and it was my first day meeting Peter Mol. It came from the place of a broken heart. However, it really asks the question.... Why do we do the things that we do to each other when we are all made of the same thing? Link in bio. 💫 #carriemanolakos #arentweallmadeofstars #availablenow
