An Evening With Vanessa Carlton

Singer/songwriter Vanessa Carlton emerged onto the music scene in 2002 with her hit single “A Thousand Miles.” The track became one of the biggest singles of the year, cracking the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and appeared on her debut album Be Not Nobody, which also made the Top 5 on the Billboard 200. The song earned three GRAMMY nominations and was a mainstay on radio playlists throughout the year. Subsequent albums included 2004’s Harmonium (co-produced by Third Eye Blind’s Stephan Jenkins), 2007’s Heroes & Thieves (co-produced by Jenkins and Linda Perry) and 2011’s Rabbits on the Run. In July 2015 Carlton released her Blue Pool EP, followed by her critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Liberman via Dine Alone Records in October. Recorded in the UK and her current home of Nashville, Liberman reflects Carlton’s current state of mind since moving from NYC to Nashville, marrying husband John McCauley and having a baby girl. The simple instrumentation mixed with her wistful vocals and poignant lyrics showcase a new side to Carlton’s already accomplished songwriting. The GRAMMY Museum welcomes Carlton to the Clive Davis Theater for an intimate conversation on her life, career and new album as well as a sampling of songs from Liberman, hosted by Scott Goldman, Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares. If you’d like to catch a full Vanessa Carlton concert, she will be performing the following evening (1/21/16) at The Roxy in West Hollywood. Purchase tickets here.
