Biography

McElroy was born in Olympia, WA and was raised in Modesto, California and Seattle, Washington. She grew up immersed in both music and the visual arts.[1] Her father, Brent, is a luthier and guitar maker.[2]

Music

At seven, McElroy started to study the flute, and throughout her school years she picked up the guitar, percussion, drums, and the keyboards.[1]

Xiu Xiu

In 2003, McElroy met her long-lost cousin, Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu. He needed a multi-instrumentalist, so she auditioned and joined Xiu Xiu during their Fabulous Muscles tour in 2004.[1] McElroy left Xiu Xiu in May 2009.[3]

Cold Cave

In February 2009, Caralee joined the band Cold Cave. She left in early 2010.
