[edit] History
Caroline's Spine was created by lead singer/primary songwriter Jimmy Newquist. Under the direction of producer Dan Calderone and ANZA Records, Newquist performed virtually all of the instruments recorded for the Caroline's Spine self-titled debut album in 1993.
Jimmy teamed up with his college friend Mark Haugh, a guitarist originally from Tulsa, OK. After winning the 'Best Unsigned Band' in the 1994 Yamaha sponsored 'Soundcheck' contest they sold all their furniture and went on the road with Jason Gilardi (from Los Angeles, CA) on drums. The current group line-up was completed when Scott Jones, an old friend of Mark's from Tulsa took up the bass in the spring of 1995.
