An Evening With Vanessa Carlton: Veils Tour
About This Event
Vanessa Carlton, best known for "A Thousand Miles," combines piano-led rock and pop songwriting and will perform material from her new album Veils alongside selections from her catalog. This City Winery NYC appearance is billed as part of the Veils Tour, which includes a series of UK headline dates and festival appearances in July.
About A Thousand Miles(song)
Released in early 2002, “A Thousand Miles” introduced Vanessa Carlton as a pianist-songwriter with pop and rock instincts and a classical touch. In New York City, it has persisted as a familiar early‑2000s radio artifact that still turns up in sing‑along rooms and piano bars, a kind of shared vernacular. At City Winery NYC, Carlton folds the song into her Veils Tour set with a full band, letting it sit alongside newer material rather than stand apart. Its most lasting feature is structural: a pop hit built on a piano figure that does the driving.
