Carsie Blant
on is a songwriter with hooks\, chutzpah\, and revolutionary optimism. A r
adical folk artist in the tradition of Woody Guthrie\, her infectious melo
dies and lyrical wit keep listeners rapt while she conjures spirits of vau
deville\, campfire singalongs\, and punk rock. Blanton and her road-tested
band deploy humor\, camaraderie\, and considerable musical muscle to enro
ll each audience in a rare vision of hope and solidarity.
In additi
on to writing and performing music\, Carsie works as a political organizer
and activist. In fall of 2025\, she participated in the Glo
bal 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 hundreds of her comrades.Soon after\,
Blanton released The Little Flame\, a song of
solidarity covered widely on social media during her detention. The Littl
e Flame features background vocals from Irish band Ye Vagabonds
and Carsie&rsquo\;s Palestinian/New Zealander prison-mate Rana Hamida\, and appears on her latest album\, The Red Album Vol II.
After two decad
es spent on the road\, Blanton has amassed a dedicated fan base and a smal
l menagerie 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 band
and in collaboration with Canadian folk-punk rabblerousers T
he Burning Hell\, as well as continuing her organizing work with Artis
ts Against Apartheid\, Party for Socialism and Liberation and others.
