Details
Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks, chutzpah, and revolutionary optimism. It is possible to face the world as it is - rapidly heating, ruled by grifters, ravaged by profitable wars - and still have hope, she says of her forthcoming release, After the Revolution. Not the narrow, grasping hope you might hang on an election or a billionaire, but a patient, zoomed-out hope.Blantons ninth full-length album draws from her many influences. Tracks like My Good Friends evoke her childhood in Appalachia, while Aint We Got Fun showcases a musical roux earned from a decade spent in New Orleans. The title track, a hard-rocking protest anthem, shows that her commitment to the good fight need not obscure her considerable acumen as a writer and musician.With her unique mix of humor, craft, and social critique, Blanton has amassed a small menagerie of viral hits (Rich People, Shit List, Fishin With You) and a dedicated fan base. In addition to fifteen years on the road with her band, Blanton volunteers as a political organizer, and was recently published in The Nation. Her forthcoming album After the Revolution, produced by Grammy-winner Tyler Chester, comes out on March 21st.
