Carsie Blanton with The Burning Hell

Carsie Blanton brings her signature blend of radical folk and punk-rock energy to The Song & Dance, joined by special guests The Burning Hell. Known for her infectious melodies and lyrical wit, Blanton conjures spirits of vaudeville, campfire singalongs, and punk rock, deploying humor and camaraderie to create a rare vision of hope and solidarity. The Burning Hell, the project of songwriter Mathias Kom and multi-instrumentalist Ariel Sharratt, delivers narrative-driven songs packed with literary and pop-cultural subjects, celebrating participation in a surprising and occasionally beautiful world.

Blanton's shows are a mix of political organizing and musical muscle, reflecting her activism—she recently participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla and released a song of solidarity during her detention. With two decades on the road, she regularly sells out mid-size venues across the U.S. and Europe. This tour finds her collaborating with Canadian folk-punk rabblerousers The Burning Hell, offering an evening that blends infectious hooks, revolutionary optimism, and community spirit.
