Charlotte Carpenter

Charlotte Carpenter is a rising force in the UK’s alt-Americana scene, known for her smoky blues-soaked vocals and emotionally charged songwriting. Drawing comparisons to artists like PJ Harvey and Lucinda Williams, her music explores love, loss and resilience with a raw vulnerability and bold instrumentation.

Whether it’s through stripped-back acoustic moments to gritty guitar-driven anthems, Charlotte delivers an arresting live performance every time, gaining coverage from tastemakers from The Line of Best Fit and CLASH, through to Classic Rock, with support from BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 2, and UK-wide tours alongside Marika Hackman, Katherine Priddy and Juanita Stein (of Howling Bells).

Her early single “Fire” was championed by Edith Bowman on Virgin Radio and the follow up “Babywoman” was supported by Tom Robinson and featured in Netflix’s Selling Sunset in 2022. Charlotte released her debut album A Modern Rage in 2023 produced by Matthew De Burgh Daly and has since toured extensively and played festivals including The Long Road and Cottingham Folk Festival.

‘You Look Free And I’m Not’ is Charlotte’s latest single, marking her first self-produced release. Sonically between Americana and Radiohead, her signature guitar driven sound sits alongside subtle synths and cinematic percussion. In Charlotte’s words, the song imagines a humanoid learning to mirror humanity and questions freedom and empathy.

Charlotte tours the UK in September 2026, showcasing new music and stories. Dates include: Sunday 13th September – Kitchen Garden Cafe, Birmingham Monday 14th September – The Eagle Inn, Manchester Tuesday 15th Septe
