Love Carsie! Can't wait to see her in Stoughton, WI, this summer!

It does not get any better than Carsie! She has it all and Nova Scotia has adopted her at Stanfest this summer!!!

Talented, smart, funny & wonderfully deviant. What's not to love?

Thanks for sharing, an amazing songbird.

Wonderful song -- reminiscent of John Prine. You go, Carsie!

My first time seeing Carsie! We were just off camera to the left... :) Great show.

The next time was March 2020 and the last public thing we did before everything locked down.

... and the next time will be next February! Last show we saw before the lock downs and first show after.

BUCK UP





been lyin awake and wondering

where it all went wrong

we’re runnin in this human race

but the odds are lookin long



so I sat beside my hound dog

and I looked into his eyes

I said, what’s the use of tryin?

and to my surprise



he said buck up baby, cmon sic ‘em

make ‘em laugh if you can’t lick ‘em

keep on shining like you know you should

keep on shining that’s the way to get ‘em good



so I put my shoes on

and I walked out in the street

the papers say we’re on the way

to starting world war three



so I took the hand of my paper man

said, what we gonna do?

he just started laughin

he said I got news for you



you better buck up baby, cmon sic ‘em

make ‘em laugh if you can’t lick ‘em

keep on shining like you know you should

when it gets bad, that’s the way to get ‘em good



keep on shining like you know you should

keep on shining that’ll get ‘em good

they got the money and they’re never gonna get enough

but honey we got the love



and we got friends who come out swingin

when we get hit we go home singin la la la

like we know we should

when it gets bad, that’s the way we get it good



we sing buck up baby, cmon sic ‘em

make ‘em laugh if you can’t lick ‘em

keep on shining like you know you should

keep on shining that’s the way to get ‘em good

keep on shining, that’ll get em good.
