October 2006 Featured Artist: Carl Wirkkala

Carl Wirkkala is no urban cowboy. His music reflects both his upbringing in rural Washington and his timber industry roots. We’re talking unadulterated country, cast from the same mold as Johnny, Merle, and Waylon, with no use for wasted notes or cheesy overproduction.

Peopled with authentic characters, both real and imagined, Carl’s latest recording, Freedom Town, focuses on God, Family, and Country, combining his dexterous songwriting with his affinity for the common man.
