Charlotte Carpenter is a storyteller, an artist capable of applying an enormous impact." Clash
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. With support from tastemakers from The Line of Best Fit and CLASH, through to rock bible Classic Rock.
Alongside heavy touring with the likes of Marika Hackman, Katherine Priddy, Juanita Stein (Howling Bells) and Kezia Gill, Charlotte has brought herself to the forefront of alternative singer/songwriters. Charlotte has appeared at Latitude, Boardmasters, Moseley Folk, Greenbelt, Y Not Festival as well as touring across Europe. Early single release 'Fire' was heavily championed by Edith Bowman on Virgin Radio turning the ears of Total Guitar, claiming Charlotte as a “Guitarist To Watch”. Follow up single 'Babywoman' was heavily championed by Tom Robinson/BBC 6, later becoming a feature in Netflix’s ‘Selling Sunset’ in 2022. Charlotte self-released her debut album “A Modern Rage” in 2023 which was produced by Matthew De Burgh Daly (Grace Petrie, AA Williams) and won further acclaim from the likes of Guitar Mag, DIVA Magazine, Nonchalant Mag, God Is In The TV, BBC Introducing and 6 Music and later joined the 20 Music Roots family for her live bookings.
