Great voice, terrific tunes. Lend her your ear." Gene Shay of WXPN said, "In all truth, she blew me away. One of the best singer/songwriters in the business." Carsie Blanton has shared the stage with artists such as Amos Lee, Jeffery Gaines, Leon Redbone and Joan Armatrading. Her CD, Ain't So Green, has received high reviews around the county. Carsie Blanton will be headlining this concert.
