Vanessa Carlton Live Oct 18th @ Visulite Theatre

Description

THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Singer-songwriter & musician Vanessa Carlton Live @ Charlotte’s Visulite Theatre Friday, October 18, 2013.

“I was very lucky to be offered a lovely piece of property to build a career on,” says Vanessa Carlton. “I started building a house on it, but it wasn’t necessarily a house I would want to live in. So I ripped down that house, and I worked with these great lumberjacks to build a really cool cabin—a place I want to drink whiskey in and hang out until the sun rises.”

For her fourth album, Rabbits on the Run (Razor & Tie), Carlton needed a fresh start. She had been going at full sprint since she was discovered by legendary record executive Ahmet Ertegun when she was still a teenager, signed by Jimmy Iovine soon after, and exploded onto the pop scene with the platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated Be Not Nobody in 2002.

But as she was nearing thirty, Carlton felt lost. Ultimately, she made her way to Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in Box, England, where she created something that harks back to a different era of music-making: ten intimate, evocative songs, recorded direct to tape with a close-knit team of collaborators including producer Steve Osborne, drummer Patrick Hallahan from My Morning Jacket, and guitarist Ari Ingber of The Upwelling. It was not, however, an easy road to get there.
