Welcome to the web store of rock musician, Chelsea Carlson!
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 twenty-year-old rock musician is a welcome change. In Summer 2011, Chelsea took the music scene by storm by “going solo,” and performing acoustically throughout the New York / New Jersey area. She released her first two original singles, “Used to Be,” and “
Lost in Love,” in August and November respectively. Over the course of the summer, she began adding other musicians to her lineup – and by the new year, her band Chelsea Carlson & the Black Dogs was formed.
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 Anne 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, Gramercy Theater, and Bitter End in NYC. Chelsea’s shows are energetic and captivating. Whether she is performing solo, in her band, or in her acoustic duo (Chelsea Carlson & John Graham), 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 band, her true home is performing onstage.
Chelsea recently completed her third semester at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she studies bass guitar and music business. Currently, she is taking some time away from Berklee to work on her music career at home in New Jersey. Her acoustic duo recently recorded an EP of her original songs, and you can see her performing across the New Jersey area in the coming months.
In a rapidly changing music industry, Chelsea Carlson is someone you will want to keep your eye on!
