The dream continues! The high priestess has called on me to awaken the ghosts AND I TAKE THIS JOB SERIOUSLY. @stevienicks and her awesome band and crew put on a truly magnificent show. For these opening sets it will be me, a piano and a dream. Hope to see you there! Love, Vanessa
The rise of antisemitic rhetoric is heartbreaking and scary. I cannot pretend this isn’t happening. Now more than ever we need to speak out against antisemitism and hate. There was a time when my family felt compelled to hide their name in the shadows. I will do everything I can to make sure that never happens again. I thought this would be a good time to share with you my Jewish heritage and how it has influenced me and my work. Liberman, my fifth full length record was released seven years ago. Liberman was my Grandpa Allan’s original last name. Allan was born in America in 1921. He was an artist. In 1940, during World War II, he joined the Air Force. When he returned from the War he decided he would change his last name (from Liberman to Lee) because he thought his business and his family would be safer if they didn’t appear to be Jewish. He then opened a shirt business in New York City called Mather Shirts Ltd. The story goes, Ralph Lipschitz (who later became Ralph Lauren), a very young tie salesman, was enamored with the Mather Shirts showroom and was inspired by Allan’s fabric choices and designs. My mother tells me that Mather Shirts was the first shop in NYC to make the Oxford button down shirt cut for a woman. I can’t verify this information because everyone has passed but that is really cool. I am proud of my family and who we are. I am proud to be Jewish and with this album I wanted to shine light on our family name that lived in the shadows. Most of this music was written while I stared at one of my Grandpa’s paintings. The painting in this post was in direct eye line when I sat at the piano. I would look at the colors and play. Music is medicine. Writing this record healed a part of me. I hope that Liberman soothes your mind and that it gives you the space to be who you are.

Hi there, Vanessa here. I just wanted to say a quick but huge thank you for listening to my music on Spotify. I also can’t wait to share the new music I’m working on! Soon… Love, V
Skye and I meeting the venerable @berniesanders at the @columbustheatre rally for @aaronregunberg. We played a few songs and got to watch the incredible @flyingwithsara speech (I was in tears!), @leonelafelixri, Aaron and, of course, Bernie (who delivered the truth as he always does). I’m so inspired!

I have been watching in horror over what is happening in Israel and Palestine. There is no statement that can cover it all. I’m sorry if I fall short on saying every thing I need to say. I denounce genocide. I denounce terrorism. I denounce anti-semitism. I denounce Hamas and its evil pogrom against Israeli civilians, which was the largest slaughter of Jewish people since the Holocaust. I denounce any retaliatory violence by Israel that does not differentiate between Hamas terrorists and the Palestinian civilians who are trapped under Hamas’s reign. I pray for a cease fire and for the Israeli government to immediately negotiate the return of the hostages taken by Hamas. My heart bleeds for all of the wounded and killed. I am filled with sadness that there are people on both the right and the left who will not acknowledge the humanity and tragedy of all who have been murdered. A child is a child is a child; whenever one is killed, Israeli or Palestinian, it is a cataclysm. Palestinians deserve to be free from Hamas. The state of Israel has the right to exist. I do not deny anyone’s suffering. With love and humanity, Vanessa
I’m 100 percent back now. This video is from February. I live with a documentarian filled with flair.
@nilerodgers is not just a musician, he is an architect of a sound. A sound that lifts you off the ground. He is simply a magic man. He is also a sweetie. I sat next to him on a plane a long time ago and he was kind to me. It was a great honor to open for him at the #DancingOnTheSand festival this past weekend. Thank you to @lionelrichie (huge fan!) and @vibeepresents for inviting me and my band to be a part of the show! A big thanks to my band mates @skyeayeaye @jesskehume @jburgerdrums. Love you guys. Vanessa PS. Last shot is @johnjmccauley of the band @deertickmusic and our new son Angus. John had to take one for the team and stay behind last minute because Angus couldn’t travel and needed his dog Dad.

On the one year anniversary of the original release, “Love Is An Art” is back, in “Deluxe” form. For only the second time in my twenty year career, I am releasing demos (I like the idea of letting listeners in on the rawness and intimacy of how a song begins), in addition to the B-side “Break to Save”. Stream/download Love Is An Art Deluxe at the link in the bio now!
Vanessa Carlton soared to the top of the Billboard charts and garnered multiple Grammy nominations with her debut single “A Thousand Miles,” though that song represents only a small fraction of the body of work and artistic identity she’s developed since then. Vanessa continues to challenge herself artistically and takes risks with each new album, refusing to be boxed in creatively. Carlton made her Broadway debut in 2019 as Carole King in Beautiful: The Carole King Story and supported Stevie Nicks for her US tour in 2022. Earlier this year, she wrapped her own Future Pain Tour in promotion of her sixth studio album Love Is An Art. See Vanessa Carlton in the Bahamas on Day 2 of Dancing On The Sand at Casuarina Beach for the first concert of the weekend, including performances Nile Rodgers & CHIC, and Jake Wesley Rogers.
