Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks, chutzpah, and revolutionary optimism. Inspired by artist-activists including Nina Simone and Woody Guthrie, her catalog careens through American popular song from folk and swing to pop-punk protest anthems. With her unique mix of humor, soul, and political wit, and fifteen-plus years on the road, Blanton has amassed a dedicated fan base and a small menagerie of viral hits (Rich People, Shit List, Fishinʼ With You). Her forthcoming albumAfter the Revolution, produced by Grammy-winner Tyler Chester, is slated for release in March of 2024.
'Josh Okeefe blends the gritty realism of his Derby upbringing with a love for American music, adding to these enlightening flashes of wisdom and wit. Sage yet youthful, richly detailed and eminently enjoyable, the journey Bloomin’ takes us on is one as multifaceted as the distance from Derby to Nashville is long. But we are all richer for Okeefe having made that transatlantic trek. A rebel artist, protest singer, the heir to Bob Dylan, or – when he's doing one of his lighter satirical numbers – a harmonica-tootin’ Mr. Bean… with raw, topical storytelling and a voice that crackles with authentic folk tradition, Okeefe is all of these and more. Give the 10 tunes a listen and Bloomin' Josh Okeefe will instantly plant its enriched roots deep in your soul.' Stephen L. Betts Writer, Rolling Stone
