Caroline in the Garden, Ashly Ann Dilbeck

Caroline in the Garden is the imaginative pop project of singer-songwriter/producer Caroline Milby. Known for warm minor chord energy, off-kilter piano hooks and lush orchestrations, Caroline explores what it means to unhinge yourself from societies' expectations after spending decades on the capitalist conveyor belt.

Heavily influenced by Kate Bush and 90s Lilith Fair icons, Caroline got her start in the Philadelphia art rock scene opening for acts such as Electric Six, Here Come the Mummies and Low Cut Connie.

Her debut album, Act Two, (coming April 10, 2026) was inspired by her wayward career jump from full-time attorney to full-time musician. Try explaining that to your parents. The album blends intimate storytelling and clever lyricism to explore the depths of an inner world that refuses to cooperate with societies' expectations.

It has been described as “intensively forward thinking” and “uniquely resonant.”

Ashly Dilbeck is a singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Drawing from Appalachian roots and old-time traditions, her music weaves together raw emotion, rich storytelling, and a voice that feels both grounded and timeless.
