About

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 a unique mix of humor, political wit, and fifteen-plus years on the road, Blanton has amassed a dedicated fan base and a small menagerie of viral hits \(Rich People, Ugly Nasty Commie Bitch, Fishin’ With You\). In 2024 she released two albums: After the Revolution \(produced by Grammy-winner Tyler Chester\) and The Red Album \(an acoustic EP of protest songs\). Listed by WBGO Live Jazz.
