Description

Her songs cover such socially relevant topics as dating for food, the Guinness Book of Records, and a duet with a Klingon. In 2002, Carla suffered two strokes and kidney failure. Undeterred, she re-learned the guitar from scratch that year, spending her many hours in doctors' waiting rooms penning funny parodies about her malady and the absurdity of the health care system. The result was her third CD, "Sick Humor" release in late 2004. The song "What If Your Butt Was Gone," a parody of one of Carla's own songs, is an audience favorite and is included on Dr. Demento's 2005 Basement Tapes compilation. Carla has taught guitar at several colleges, Hummingbird Music Camp, and the National Guitar Workshop. She teaches a guitar clinic called "Stuff Every Guitar Player Should Know" and has a music instruction book published with Alfred. Carla tours all over the country, appearing at various folk venues such as The Bluebird Cafe and Eddie's Attic, festivals including Kerrville and Falcon Ridge, medical and nursing conventions, concert series, science fiction conventions, colleges, numerous radio stations, as well as spots on USA's Up All Night, PAX TV, and XM radio. She has shared the bill with such luminaries as Cheryl Wheeler and Twiggy the Water Skiing Squirrel. Carla Ulbrich is a member of ASCAP and President of the Difficult Last Name Club, likes cheese, and collects bottlecaps.
