I have been living out of a suitcase for a year and a half! Covid shot us into the stratosphere (or rather back to my hometown area). We lived in a furnished rental home for a year so that Sid could attend kindergarten at the incredible @homesteadschool in Glen Spey, NY (I am an alum!). I worked as a substitute teacher at the school for the year. It was a gift. Now, I believe we’ve found our forever house. We’ve been working hard on bringing this 223 year old house into full bloom. This is our daughters room on the second floor. (We are just starting to move in.)There are fireplaces in each bedroom in this Federal Colonial queen. We chose to leave this mantle fully exposed with a clear wood protector. Natural. I love the whimsy of artful human hands coming together with nature with little interruption. As my friend says, you are no longer just a homeowner, you are a curator now. We are indeed. And it is such a relief to be stewards of a wonderful home. I’m looking forward to unpacking & then rehearsing for shows!! 🤍🤍Thank you to my fellow dreamer and crazy talented designer/problem solver @hamiltongraystudio and thanks to the BEST building/restoration team in the biz @eshibuilders. We are just getting started!

I AM NEVER MOVING AGAIN AND HAVE AGED 31 ADDITIONAL YEARS IN ONE YEAR.
Last winter was……interesting. (This clip is from a genius self-hair cutting technique that I learned in the pandemic. What can I say. I help people.) #builtinbonnet
I predict I’ll be Vanessa Carton for one more year. I’ll miss not having L when it joins the party.
I’m never moving again. You’d have to pull me out of this house like Kathleen Turner in War of the Roses for GOD DAMMIT SAKE. In addition, I want to be buried in the backyard. Yes I am hastagging #federalcolonial #historichomes
Welcome to haunted New England. Enormous thanks to @hamiltongraystudio and @eshibuilders for helping us restore this home (built in 1798!). They don’t make ‘em like this anymore, but they should.
To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of “Rabbits on the Run”, we will be releasing a limited edition cassette signed by Vanessa! The cassettes are available for pre-order and will be released on Sept. 22. Place your pre-order at Vanessa’s merch store now
“Rabbits On The Run” is the album that healed my wounds. It was like a medicine. The act of making it and the personal questions that were posed within it, ended up being the answer to so much creative and personal tumult. I carried around a black binder for two years and poured my guts into it. I had never let myself be this honest. It was brutal and it was liberating. This act led the album to become some sort of personal mirror. I didn’t like everything I saw, but I didn’t shy away. By moving forward, I realized I was rejecting the box I had been framed in as an artist. I wrote about betrayal, my dreams, drugs, suicidal thoughts, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and the effect it had on my mental health, enlightenment, and peace. Rabbits is my not-so-secret door in the floor, and it led to the truth. The concept behind the album was simple but it was also a tall order. I wanted to make an analog record (meaning the music went to physical tape rather than a digital medium). I wanted to work with Steve Osborne (producer, bass player), Patrick Hallahan @patrickthallahan (drummer) and Ari Ingber @ari_b_ingber (guitarist). I wanted a children’s choir to sing on some of the songs too. I wondered if it was all too much to ask. I was never sure of that answer but I kept putting one foot in front of the other. My wonderful team of collaborators helped me along. The books that lit the fire for the record were Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time” and Richard Adams’ “Watership Down.” Plus, a little peyote. I believe that art is a mechanism that humans created in order to understand consciousness. This music not only helps me understand myself but it connects me to you. Thank you for being on this journey with me. Happy 10 years Rabbits. Purchase a limited edition autographed cassette at the link in the bio
