Carbon Leaf at Lookout Farm

Carbon Leaf salutes the summer of 2021 with their “DIVE! DIVE! Summer Tour”. A touring mainstay and an indie folk-rock staple, this Virginia quintet’s well-hewn live show and musical style drift in and out of Americana, bluegrass, rock, folk, Celtic and pop traditions with ease, using an arsenal of instruments to define the band’s lively stage presence and sonic landscape.

With a history spanning 27 years, 20 albums and 3,000 live shows, Carbon Leaf’s independent music and spirit continue to resonate with its fans. In 2018, the band celebrated its 25th Anniversary with an extensive U.S. tour. 2019 was spent writing and recording songs for a new EP (Gathering 2: The Hunting Ground) and a 27-song video project filmed on location at a beach house on the Atlantic Ocean (Carbon Leaf Cottage: Songs By The Sea). In 2020, Carbon Leaf announced they have begun writing songs for a planned full-length album set for a 2021-22 release. “We’ve been gifted an opportunity to write and perform in front of a live audience,” said Barry Privett, while reflecting on the band’s 27 years. “We are lucky to have fans on the other end of that long road, receiving what we create. Our audience has been what sustains us. And what compels us forward. It’s not something we take for granted.”
