"Carlson shows a talent for turns of phrase and for memorializing people, events and places in song so well that each song breathes with their life's blood... It's rare for a songwriter to have mastered melody, arrangement and lyrics as completely as Carlson has. Names that come to mind are Jason Plumb, Neil Young, Dan Fogelberg and Bruce Cockburn. Museum is a must have CD..."

"Time With Her" Demo - December 23, 2011
I decided to release this demo of a song called "Time With Her" that will be on the next CD. I've been able to get a lot of work done in the studio lately and am feeling pretty good about how the next release is going to sound. You can listen to the song on SoundCloud below:
August Shows - August 1, 2011
I will be playing on August 6th at Ragamuffin Music in Roswell and again on August 12th at Copper Coin Coffee in Woodstock.
August 6: Joined on stage by Ashley Harris, Mark Pertain, Ashley Filip, and Jeff Talmadge.
August 12: Alabama singer-songwriter Abby Parks will join me at Woodstock's own Copper Coin Coffee. Come join us for some music in one of new downtown Woodstock's best hangouts!
I will be playing some music from my first CD and some new songs from my second CD, and probably a few that aren't on either one. See the calendar page for more details.
Two Shows in May! - May 1, 2011
After a yearlong absence from any semblance of a regular performing schedule, I'm playing in two shows this month:
- May 14 @ Lena's Place in Decatur
- May 21 @ The Home of Ralph Gilbert and Mary Odem
I'll be playing alongside several great Atlanta-area singer-songwriters each night. Both shows include Bruce Gilbert, Ashley Harris and Towanna Stone. On May 21, the same group is joined by William Bess and JC Goolsby. I'll be playing a few new songs and will also be joining Bruce as a guest bass player on a few of his tunes.
The show on the 21st is a fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's research. It would be great to have a big, supportive crowd that night! See the calendar page for details!
