Carsie Blanton
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.”
Blanton’s ninth full-length album draws from her many influences. Tracks like My Good Friends evoke her childhood in Appalachia, while Ain’t 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.
With her unique mix of humor, soul, and 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, Shit List, Fishin’ With You). Her forthcoming album After the Revolution, produced by Grammy-winner Tyler Chester, is slated for release in March of 2024.
Lilli Lewis
“A powerhouse performer adding her unique voice and talent to the national discussion of the state of social justice in America.” – The Kennedy Center. Trained as an opera singer and classical pianist, Lilli Lewis has composed and performed in every tradition that inspires her including folk, Americana, soul, jazz, blues and gospel. Lewis lent her voice to the music industry’s need to diversify, while serving as VP & Head of A&R at Louisiana Red Hot Records. The Folk Rock Diva has spearheaded Folk Alliance International’s “Committing to Conversation,” and served on Americana Music Association’s panel on Black equity in Folk/Americana covered by Rolling Stone Magazine. Lewis has released three critically acclaimed albums on Louisiana Red Hot Records: 2018’s solo piano “The Henderson Sessions,” 2019’s “We Belong,” and 2020’s “My American Heart Red + Blue EP.” Mandy Patinkin describes Lewis’ performance of “My American Heart” as “like listening to light,” and The Grateful Web said she “personifies a contemporary Jessye Norman if folk rock had been her genre.” Lewis’ eagerly anticipated album “Americana” is slated for 2021.
