Description

Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks, chutzpah, and revolutionary optimism. Inspired by artists including Nina Simone and John Prine, her music is a jaunt through American popular song, from sultry jazz to pop-punk protest anthems. Her live shows seek to delight and galvanize, with her Handsome Band serving up juicy three-part harmonies and melodic basslines to drive home each well-crafted refrain. A seasoned performer, she explores the political and the burlesque while bringing her audience together in humor, hope, and camaraderie. Carsie’s forthcoming album, Body of Work, is an intimately-recorded collection of songs from throughout her catalog, produced by Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Andrew Bird) and featuring fan-favorites such as Fishin with You and Smoke Alarm. This concert will be held at the fabulous 3300 Event Center, which offers a listening room experience with great acoustics and sight lines. More “mature” fans will remember this facility as Second Chance (or if you are a little less mature, Stage Two). The main level will be cabaret style with people seated at tables. Second and third level seating offers an assortment of seating options. Handicap accessible seating is available on the main level. Doors: 6:30 pm Show: 7:00 pm Photo credit: Shervin Lainez
