 Based out of Washington, DC, Carly Harvey combines Blues, Jazz, carleSoul, and Indigenous American styles to produce a unique sound. She is the originator of the "Native Scat"—an improvisational fusion of a traditional Jazz scat with Native vocables. In addition to performing as a solo act, Carly is an entertaining and dynamic band leader. According to DC Music Review, "Carly is grace, confidence, originality, and the right amount of sexy swagger all at once. She commands the stage with her voice and presence and draws you in intensely. Then she seems to end each song with an infectious smile of pure gratitude that beams so brightly into the audience.

" In July 2018, Carly was featured in Big City Blues Magazine as one of the youngest Blues artists to watch. She is also a three-time DC Blues Society Battle of the Bands Winner and was proclaimed DC's Queen of the Blues in 2016 by Dr. Nick Johnson of WPFW Radio. In 2021, Carly was nominated 7 times and won the WAMMIE award for Best Blues Artist.

_{Carly is an Eastern Band Tsalagi and Tuscarora descendant and it is her belief that Blues not only comes from the African American experience but is also directly influenced by Indigenous American Minor Pentatonic Melodies and Stomp Dance Songs. She occasionally offers master classes to educate people about the music that gives her so much pride in her AfroIndigenous heritage.
Carly Harvey is an Afro-Indigenous Blues musician based out of Washington, DC. Kamama, her debut album, paints an auditory picture of the Blues family tree with its roots in the minor pentatonic melodies of Native American lullabies, flute music, and rhythms of the shuffle heard in stomp dance songs. It extends into the neighboring branches of Soul, Jazz, and Rock. The Leaves will bear the fruit of this alchemical fusion while maintaining the undertones of the Blues scale and feel, finally ending in a full circle back to its roots.}
