Carsie Blanton

Take a bit of Billy Bragg, some Michelle Shocked, Poly Styrene, and Kathleen Hanna — and you start to get a sense of Carsie Blanton. She’s a protest singer whose songs defy genre pigeonholing, whose melodies are straight-up pop, and whose lyrics are imbued with humor and insight, embracing the complexities of being human. She’s what you need, what we all need, right now.
