An Evening with Carsie Blanton with special guest The Burning Hell

Join us in welcoming back singer-songwriter Carsie Blanton on Wednesday, November 4 (the day after elections). Doors 7pm; show 8pm.

Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks, chutzpah, and revolutionary optimism. A radical folk artist in the tradition of Woody Guthrie, her infectious melodies and lyrical wit keep listeners rapt while she conjures spirits of vaudeville, campfire singalongs, and punk rock. Blanton and her road-tested band deploy humor, camaraderie, and considerable musical muscle to enroll each audience in a rare vision of hope and solidarity.

In addition to writing and performing music, Carsie works as a political organizer and activist. In fall 2025, 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 hundreds of her comrades.

Soon after, Blanton released “The Little Flame,” a song of solidarity covered widely on social media during her detention. The song features background vocals from Irish band Ye Vagabonds and Carsie’s Palestinian/New Zealander prison-mate Rana Hamida, and appears on her latest album, The Red Album Vol II.

After two decades on the road, Blanton has amassed a dedicated fan base and a small menagerie of viral hits, and regularly sells out mid-size venues across the U.S. and Europe. In 2026, she will tour heavily with her own band and in collaboration with Canadian folk-punk rabblerousers The Burning Hell, while continuing her organizing work with Artists Against Apartheid, Party for Socialism and Liberation, and others.

“Beautiful, militant anthems.” — Ken Tucker, NPR’s Fresh Air

“Carsie Blanton is fighting fascism with big hooks and an even bigger heart.” — American Songwriter
