Carsie Blanton

Doors Open 6:30

Opening Act by Devon Sproule: 7 PM

Carsie Blanton: 8 PM

Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks, chutzpah, and revolutionary optimism. At once a folksinger/activist in the tradition of Woody Guthrie, a songwriter with a penchant for infectious melodies and lyrical wit, and a performer with vaudeville flair and a punk rock spirit, Blanton’s live show fills each audience with a sense of renewed hope and solidarity.

With her unique mix of humor, craft, and political critique, Blanton has amassed a small menagerie of viral hits (Rich People, Ugly Nasty Commie Bitch, The Democrats) and a dedicated fan base. After fifteen years on the road with her band, Blanton now regularly sells out shows across the U.S., Europe and Canada, and in her free time volunteers as a political organizer with Artists Against Apartheid and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. She was recently published in The Nation.
