Music Story  January 16, 2009  BY MARGARET MOSER

"...A 16-year-old at McCallum Fine Arts Academy, Carson McHone's direction is clear. With her acoustic guitar and a variety of influences from Dolly Parton and Ryan Bingham to Ana Egge, she's a folkie studying with Darcie Deaville and shaping her songwriting in the tradition of Eliza Gilkyson and Lucinda Williams. McHone also teaches horseback riding, recently causing a stir by riding her horse through a Schlotzsky's drive-through."

More on Carson soon, including music to hear. Check out her myspace page and a few videos.

Updating the Chronicle piece, Carson is now at Hendrix College in Conway, AR. She's an Austin native.
