Carsie Blanton writes anthems for a world worth saving. Inspired by artists including Nina Simone and John Prine, Carsie delivers each song with an equal dose of moxie and mischief bringing her audience together in joyful celebration of everything worth fighting for. “Carsie Blanton is one of those hardheaded, open hearted protesters that makes revolution sound desirable to your body even if your mind wants to resist it.” — Fresh Air “Love & Rage is a reminder that the fight for racial and gender equity can — and should — have joyous moments.” — NOLA “[Love & Rage is a] masterpiece and one of the best albums this year.” — The Honey Pops DORI FREEMAN “While her gorgeous new album, ‘Ten Thousand Roses,’ is filled with pointed reflections on class, inequality, desire, and self-determination, Freeman issues her blunt observations with unfailing poise, giving the album a quietly subversive power.” – No Depression “The purity of Dori Freeman’s voice and the directness of her songwriting reflect not only her Appalachian hometown — Galax, Va. — but also a determined classicism, a rejection of the ways modern country punches itself up for radio and arenas.” – Jon Pareles, The New York Times “A strong contender for Americana debut of the year”–Rolling Stone Country
