As Carbon Leaf approaches their 20th year of award-winning recording and touring, the band enters 2011 with more creative designs to independently produce a steady stream of new music. With nine albums under their belt, Carbon Leaf have just released a live CD and DVD early this year, and have a full-length CD slated for the fall, as well as multiple songs and EPs throughout the year.

The Richmond, Virginia-based group began as an independent band in 1992, then signed on with Vanguard Records for a three-album stint in 2004. Along the way, Carbon Leaf scored hit singles at both AAA and Hot AC Radio with “Life Less Ordinary” and “The Boxer," placed first in the International Songwriting Competition and won an American Music Award. Carbon Leaf continues to tour extensively throughout North America, performing over 125 live shows this year, appearing as a headliner for theater and club gigs, playing numerous festivals and continuing their series of intimate acoustic shows for up-close-and-personal interaction with their fans. Clearly, Carbon Leaf’s unique blend of folk-rock, Americana, Celtic, bluegrass, rock and pop lends itself to a variety of live formats, which keeps fans clamoring for more.
