About this concert
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 long stint 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.

Her forthcoming album After the Revolution, produced by Grammy-winner Tyler Chester, is slated for release in March of 2024.
