Shawn Henderson's video: Carsie Blanton Idiot Heart on Stay Tuned

Carsie Blanton makes songs, records, videos, blog posts, and mischief. She lives in New Orleans, and loves all kinds of music: Ray Charles to Joni Mitchell; The Beatles to Erykah Badu; not to mention Nick Lowe, Tom Waits, Dolly Parton and Billie Holiday. She loves songs, but hates genre. She thinks making music is like making love: if you only know one way to do it, you must not be very good at it. Carsie grew up in Luray, Virginia, and left home at sixteen. She's toured all over the US, Europe and Australia, with many of her songwriting heroes (Paul Simon, The Wood Brothers, Loudon Wainwright III, The Weepies, Anais Mitchell). She writes great songs, and also covers great songs that she loves. She finds four-leaf clovers, falls in love a lot, has been skydiving, but she's never been to high school. She believes that music is more important than money. That's why all of her music is available to stream, download or purchase for any price you want. That's also why she releases her music under a Creative Commons License. That said, she does need money to live (and to keep creating!), so if you love her music, please consider becoming a patron.
