New Orleans based singer-songwriter Carsie Blanton, whose shows are filled with sass and a whole lot of moxie, will be performing at the historic Thrasher Opera House in downtown Green Lake on Saturday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m.
The pop-folk songwriter takes her musical cues from Nina Simone and Cleo Brown as much as Joni Mitchell or John Prine, and already had an unusual amount of living under her belt by the time she released her first album while still a teenager.
Blanton sings with a captivating sweetness and an attitude that somehow manages to be simultaneously affable and brash. Aside from the splendor of her voice, the former quality comes from the frequently lush and cheerful arrangements of some songs on So Ferocious.
