Live Concerts

Carsie Blanton & Jenee Halstead

Event Date: 
Tuesday, October 9, 2012 - 8:00pm
Venue: 

The collaboration between Carsie Blanton and Jenee Halstead brings together two remarkable singer-songwriters at the forefront of the folk-pop American music scene.

Philadelphia-based Carsie Blanton has earned widespread critical acclaim for her clever wordplay and indelible melodies. Her new album, Idiot Heart, is a panoramic collection of exuberant, expansive folk-pop, crafted with uncommon spirit and ingenuity that balances an at times “gleefully sarcastic” style with “poetic and never overly loquacious” conversational honesty. http://www.carsieblanton.com/

The daughter of hippie parents, Spokane high desert native Jenee Halstead began as an athletic choir geek who sang medieval choral works but loved Led Zeppelin and Dolly Parton. Four years after the release of River Grace in 2008, the most recent album of “the PJ Harvey of Americana,” Raised by Wolves, offers her listeners “delicately harmonic music with bracing clarity and an achingly sumptuous honeydew sweetness.” http://jeneehalstead.com/
