Paulette Carlson is an American country music artist who has risen to international star stature as a vocalist, entertainer and a songwriter. As the founder and lead vocalist for the band Highway 101, Paulette helped to re-define the face of country music in the late 80's with such innovative hits "Whiskey, If You Were A Woman", "The Bed You Made for Me", "Somewhere Tonight" and "Cry, Cry, Cry." She charted five No. 1 hit singles, and ten Top 10 hits, won both CMA and ACM Awards' "Top Vocal Group" two years in a row, "International Vocal Group of the Year" two years in a row, received three Grammy nominations, and has won two BMI songwriter awards. As a solo artist, she has charted five times and recorded numerous studio albums.

The same voice that sent sparks through country radio with five #1 singles and ten Top 10 Chart Hits, leading the groundbreaking band Highway 101, returns to the country music scene with a new album, "It's About Time", a compelling collection of new songs that will quickly remind listeners of Paulette's place in the country music firmament.

Paulette and Hwy 101 won vocal group of the year honors from both the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association in 1988 and repeated those victories in 1989.

Paulette Carlson's performances are audience commanding, entertaining, and her voice is better than ever.
