about
Carsie Blanton (born Carson Amanda Blanton on 22 July 22 1985 in Bethesda, Maryland) is an American singer-songwriter based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The daughter of a psychologist/novelist and a programmer/songwriter, Blanton was raised on an ex-cattle farm in rural Virginia, soaking up the mountains and the music of John Prine and Joni Mitchell. After a few years spent with her ears peeled to everything from modern folk to Motown to vintage jazz, sixteen-year-old Blanton found herself toting her Taylor across the country to Eugene, OR to be a starving artist (with brief stints as a dog groomer, and later as a grantwriter). In fall of 2006, Blanton moved back east of Philadelphia. Following her move she shared the stage with nationally hailed acts including Amos Lee, Nellie McKay and Leon Redbone, embarked on a US/Canadian tour supporting Blue Note recording artists The Wood Brothers, and frequented renowned venues from the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA to Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, CA.
