Chelsea Carlson Music
Clearly born in the wrong decade, Chelsea Carlson is truly a rocker at heart. In a world where it seems every female singer is a popstar, this nineteen-year-old rock musician is a welcome change. This summer, Chelsea has taken the local music scene by storm, by “going solo” and performing acoustically throughout the New York Metropolitan area. She also just released her first original single, “Used to Be,” a rockin’ blend of grit and attitude, which is now available on iTunes.
Influenced by Robert Plant, Janis Joplin, and Roger Waters, Chelsea is not your typical “singer-songwriter.” Her original music has been described as soulful, powerful, and even cutting. Her vocal style has been compared to that of Grace Potter and Annie Wilson. Chelsea wants to take the heart of classic rock and blend it with the energy of modern rock into something new and exciting.
Over the years, Chelsea has played in numerous bands and at many venues, including the Highline Ballroom and Blender Theater, and most recently the Bitter End in NYC. Chelsea’s shows are energetic and captivating. Whether she is performing solo or joined by other talented artists, Chelsea’s performance will leave you wanting more. Her setlist not only includes original music, but creative covers ranging from Jefferson Airplane to the Foo Fighters. No matter the venue or the band, her true home is performing onstage.
Chelsea is rocking through her sophomore year at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she studies bass guitar and music business. She is currently working on new songs and planning shows in New Jersey for the coming months.
In a rapidly changing music industry, Chelsea Carlson is someone you will want to keep your eye on!
