Carsie Blanton

Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks, chutzpah, and revolutionary optimism. Inspired by artist-activists including Nina Simone and Woody Guthrie, her catalog careens through American popular song from folk and swing to pop-punk protest anthems.

With her unique mix of humor, soul, and political wit, and fifteen-plus years on the road, the Philly by-way-of New Orleans songwriter has amassed a dedicated fan base and a small menagerie of viral hits (“Rich People,” “Shit List,” Fishin’ With You).”

A dynamic performer, her live shows seek to delight and galvanize, whether solo or with her Handsome Band. She isn’t afraid to explore the political and the burlesque, but never fails to bring her audience together in love, rage, hope, and camaraderie. Carsie’s newest album, Body of Work (April, 2023), is an intimately-recorded collection of songs from throughout her catalog, delicately captured by Grammy-winning producer Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Andrew Bird). Her forthcoming album After the Revolution, also produced by Tyler Chester, is slated for release in March of 2024.
