ABOUT THIS SHOW
Philadelphia pop-folk songwriter Carsie Blanton takes her cues from legends like Nina Simone, Cleo Brown, Joni Mitchell and John Prine. She’s a ferocious wordsmith who pulls no punches on her 2024 full-length After the Revolution. This is Carsie’s second time performing at The Cedar, and we welcome her back in time when her words are more poignant than ever.

Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks, chutzpah, and revolutionary optimism. At once a folksinger/activist in the tradition of Woody Guthrie, a songwriter with a penchant for infectious melodies and lyrical wit, and a performer with vaudeville flair and a punk rock spirit, Blanton’s live show fills each audience with a sense of renewed hope and solidarity.
With her unique mix of humor, craft, and political critique, Blanton has amassed a small menagerie of viral hits (Rich People, Ugly Nasty Commie Bitch, The Democrats) and a dedicated fan base. After fifteen years on the road with her band, Blanton now regularly sells out shows across the U.S., Europe and Canada, and in her free time volunteers as a political organizer with Artists Against Apartheid and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. She was recently published in The Nation.
“Beautiful, militant anthems.” - Ken Tucker, NPR’s Fresh Air
“Carsie Blanton is fighting fascism with big hooks and an even bigger heart.”

Nathan Evans Fox
Born and raised in western North Carolina, Nathan Evans Fox aspires to write songs that sound the way gas stations feel. When it comes to Nathan’s approach, Americana Highways writes, “It’s not cornpone, it’s not alt-country, country-western, or pop-country. Fox has a solid hold on a serious genre of country seldom covered by many artists. It cuts through the commerciality of country music.”
