The musical road from Riverside, California to San
Diego rambles through Nevada, Oklahoma and almost
every state in between, where Carol Curtis traveled as
a musician. With a degree in music education from
Oklahoma State University, she inspired young minds
for several years, only to return to her true calling:
cabaret-style singing.

Playing the audience as skillfully as she plays piano
and guitar, Carol weaves an eclectic mix of torch songs,
broadway and standards into an evening of fun
repartee.

By the age of 16, musician/songwriter/vocalist Carol
Snedden Curtis, and native of Riverside, had already
begun playing clubs near Big Bear with Cheryl Flood
and Jan Ritzau. While at Poly High, (Class of ’71,) she
sang with “The New Descendants” at Disneyland, and
at Riverside’s last “show” venue, The Dunes. She spent
the next 20 years touring with bands all through the
western United States, and getting her degree in music
education.

Carol can currently be found on Friday nights at
Martini’s Above Fourth, (3940 Fourth Ave.) and
Saturday nights at The Inn at the Park, (3167 Fifth
Ave.) thrilling patrons of both venues with her exciting
and wide-ranging repertoire of musical hits. She was
nominated in ’05 and ’06 by the Nikki Awards as
