12/08 -- great press from the montgomery ticket! david wannop says: "The best local ticket to buy is simply any bill featuring Carsie Blanton. She has the cleverness of a thousand magic nymphs, word play that skips and jumps through meaning and a sunny disposition that isn't too wistful, thus allowing her to still make the occasional serious comment. Always engaging, her folk and blues mixture conveys a sense of adventure, led by the smart girl one grade ahead of us in school." thanks, david!

12/08 -- merry holikwanzkuhstice from carsie! may you spend it loving people.

11/08 -- exciting dates in november! opening for jimmy webb, david wilcox, loudon wainwright 3 in philly, boston, northampton and more. go to my space for details.

11/08 -- sweet online press! thanks, bambi!

9/08 -- john oates (of hall & oates) says: "Carsie Blanton is a rare talent as a modern songwriter. Her sly wit and urbane imagery reminds me of a folky, female Cole Porter. I'm really happy to know that classic songwriting is in good hands with Carsie Blanton."
