Description
The bubbly pop-rock pianist has grown as a musician since her debut album, Be Not Nobody, hit the stores in 2002. Carlton rose to the top of the adult contemporary charts with her first single, “A Thousand Miles,” but in spite of a duet remake of “Big Yellow Taxi” with Counting Crows’ Adam Duritz being played in every major retail outfit, her follow-up album, a more solid and mature offering in 2004 titled Harmonium, didn’t fare so well. The singer/songwriter pressed on, touring (with Stevie Nicks, even) and working on her 2007 release, Heroes and Thieves, alongside producers Stephan Jenkins of Third Eye Blind, Linda Perry and Irv Gotti, and Carlton again received acclaim as “Nolita Fairytale,” the first single from the Heroes and Thieves, took off on mainstream radio and cable music video network rotation last summer. Dusty Rhodes and the River Band open for the three-time Grammy-nominated artist.
