Carbon Leaf returns to Youngstown, celebrating their 15th album at Westside Bowl
Youngstown residents and community members across the northeast Ohio area are invited to see Carbon Leaf at Westside Bowl in celebration of their fifteenth studio album, “Time is the Playground.”
The show starts at 7 p.m. April 12 at Westside Bowl, where the band will perform folk-infused indie rock music. Tickets are available to purchase online.
Over Carbon Leaf’s career spanning more than three decades, the band has performed in 3,500 shows.
Released in September 2024, “Time is the Playground” gathers demos, riffs and lyrical ideas collected over 15 years into one retrospective album.
Barry Privett is the frontman of Carbon Leaf, a fully independent, self-managed band that started in Richmond, Virginia.
“Everybody says people don’t listen to albums anymore,” Privett said. “The challenge for us was to create something that felt good to experience from beginning to end—like a story.”
Throughout their career, Carbon Leaf has performed with contemporaries like Dave Matthews Band, Jason Mraz and John Mayer.
Best known songs by Carbon Leaf include “Life Less Ordinary” and fan-favorite “What About Everything.”
Pivett performs lead vocals, with guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Carter Gravatt, vocalist/guitarist Terry Clark, Jon Markel on bass guitar and Jesse Humphrey on drums.
