About Carolina Pine

Blending the golden era of country with the intimacy of American folk, Carolina Pine delivers a timeless, harmony-rich performance inspired by the sounds of Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, and Gillian Welch.

With soaring harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and stripped-down Americana warmth, the duo pairs Woody James (Illinois) expressive lead guitar with Kennedy Scott’s (North Carolina) rhythm guitar and mandolin, creating a sound that feels both classic and unmistakably their own.

Since joining forces, Carolina Pine has toured nationally as an opening act for Alan Jackson, shared stages with legends such as Vince Gill, Montgomery Gentry and more, earned a #1 song for six consecutive weeks on Bluegrass Music TV, writes songs with Pam Tillis, Mo Pitney, Caroline Owens, and many more, and has built a devoted following with millions of views online.

Now, with their debut full-length album in the works and a summer 2026 tour on the horizon, Carolina Pine is bringing a fresh voice to a timeless tradition.
