Carrie Beehan’s creative style combines music, writing, performance, paint, and video. Carrie worked as a news and documentary editor for German television in Berlin from 1986-1992, and then emerged as a performer and recording artist with her first recording contract in 1998 with BMG/Universal. She now lives in New York City and is currently developing the Documentary theater/musical multimedia show AITQRdisplaced, about Displaced People and Immigrant Artists leaving their quiet rooms of contemplation.

​

Ignited by an artist's residency in the historic copper mining town of Bisbee, AZ, in 2014, shortly after her father's death, this sets the foundation and autobiographical account for both the album/soundtrack   Alazon In The Quiet Room and the show, AITQR Displaced.  The show chronicles Immigrant Artists, who eventually landed in New York, leaving their quiet rooms of contemplation to remember entry and exits, stamps and visas, borders and walls, through songs and stories depicting the many facets of displacement. Blending subliminal emotional crossings with that of displacement and resettlement, this is a true story spanning six decades of the unsuppressible human desire for a safe home.
