Biography
Angel Corsi is a BIPOC folk singer and recent addition to the Front Range Colorado music scene. His music focuses on crime, family, trauma, gentrification and identity in the context of his new environment.
Angel believes the role of an artist is to find the "resistence,", or the "wall," and break through it or at very least shine a light on it by sharing stories withhout clear cut heroes or villains, just complicated people in complex and sometimes systemic situations.
Most of all, Angel sings about loneliness, searching for your place and belonging to yourself with a dose of meditations on love. As a former pugilist & combat sports enthusiast, Angel brings that same intensity, focus and moxie to his performances for listening rooms, house concerts and venues across the country.
Dubbed a "Chicano Springsteen," Angel uses his upbringing and culture clash to the folk tradition with the same grit and gravitas as the "Boss" from a different and visceral perspective. It is a catchy moniker, but doesn't quite capture his soul/blues roots found in every aching note about grief, loss, guilt and the tiny beautiful things that keeps a person who walks the world with so much pain want to give so much heart.
What people are saying...
“Folky songs and strong vocals divulge troubled stories that includes the protagonist’s father, drugs, criminal activity, lying to oneself to get by, being surrounded by bad influences” - Raymus Media
“Corsi's music reflects his philosophy of empathy, encouraging listeners to look beyond surface labels to understand people's complexities and motivations. As we navigate the gray areas of life, Corsi's music provides solace and understanding. Through his honest storytelling, Corsi encourages us all to be brave in exploring our past, understanding our present and looking forward to a future shaped by resilience and love. ” - Adam Steininger
““When someone asks who’s the best songwriter around, I say the best in the RGV is Angel, one of the best in the state” - E.Saenz (recording artist)
“Corsi, a Longmont resident, has been labeled a “Barrio Bruce,” a nod to his Springsteen-like gravitas, which would be akin to catching the Pacific Ocean in a beer mug — both profoundly inadequate and unjust. It's a punchy moniker, sure, but it overlooks the kaleidoscope of his narrative talent, the socio-political undercurrents of his lyrics and the unique flavor of authenticity that he brings to the table. His music does not merely mimic the sounds of Springsteen, instead, it carries forward the tradition of narrating the plight of the common man, with the added layer of his own cultural perspective.” - Adam Steininger
