The fiercely independent Carsie Blanton recently visited Union Stage on her 2025 tour, performing crowd-pleasing tunes from her recent albums as well as some unreleased songs.
Steve Satzberg was there to photograph the show.
We don’t have a specific review of this show at Union Stage on May 24, but we have some great information from Carsie’s website regarding what she’s been doing lately:
Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks, chutzpah, and revolutionary optimism. Inspired by artist-activists including Nina Simone and Woody Guthrie, her catalog careens through American popular song from folk and swing to pop-punk protest anthems.
With a unique mix of humor, political wit, and fifteen-plus years on the road, Blanton has amassed a dedicated fan base and a small menagerie of viral hits (“Rich People,” “Ugly Nasty Commie Bitch,” “Fishin’ With You”). In 2024 she released two albums: After the Revolution (produced by Grammy winner Tyler Chester) and The Red Album (an acoustic EP of protest songs).
Watch Carsie Blanton perform “After the Revolution” live for Eddie Owen Presents on YouTube:
