SUMMARY:Carsie Blanton
DESCRIPTION:Carsie Blanton Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks\, ch
 utzpah\, and revolutionary optimism. A radical folk artist in the tradit
 ion of Woody Guthrie\, her infectious melodies and lyrical wit keep list
 eners rapt while she conjures spirits of vaudeville\, campfire singalong
 s\, and punk rock. Blanton and her road-tested band deploy humor\, camar
 aderie\, and considerable musical muscle to enroll each audience in a ra
 re vision of hope and solidarity. In addition to writing and performing 
 music\, Carsie works as a political organizer and activist. In fall of 2
 025\, she participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla\, a direct action to
  bring humanitarian aid to Gaza by sailboat. In early October\, after a 
 month at sea\, she was imprisoned in Israel for five days along with hun
 dreds of her comrades. Soon after\, Blanton released The Little Flame\, 
 a song of solidarity covered widely on social media during her detention
 . The Little Flame features background vocals from Irish band Ye Vagabon
 ds and Carsie’s Palestinian/New Zealander prison-mate Rana Hamida\, and 
 appears on her latest album\, The Red Album Vol II. After two decades sp
 ent on the road\, Blanton has amassed a dedicated fan base and a small m
 enagerie of viral hits\, and regularly sells out mid-size venues across 
 the U.S. and Europe. 2026 will find her touring heavily with her own ban
 d and in collaboration with Canadian folk-punk rabblerousers The Burning
  Hell\, as well as continuing her organizing work with Artists Against A
 partheid\, Party for Socialism and Liberation and others.\n\nMore info:
