| Carole Martin, New Year's Eve 2013 |

No one sings a torch song like Carole Martin. And no one
bids a more devastating farewell. Carole established her reputation very early,
hitting the club circuit in the Twin Cities in the 60s and 70s, taking a nearly
two-decade break in the 80s and 90s. For the past decade, Carole has helped
usher in the New Year at the Artists Quarter, owned by son-in-law Kenny Horst.
And once in a while, Carole would take on a gig outside of the holiday. But
it's been New Year's Eve with Carole Martin and Friends that we savor, making
the 2013 Eve particularly bittersweet: "Canadian Sunset" (duet with
daughter Dawn Horst), "Going Back to Joe's," the midnight ritual
"I've Got You Under My Skin," and a farewell duet with Phil Aaron on
"Blame It on My Youth."
If you have to say goodbye, let Carole say it for you.
