Biography
Colorado-based BIPOC Americana/Soul artist Angel Corsi is a songwriter known for unfiltered storytelling and intense, revlerous performances. Blending sardonic humor, complex stories about complex people in tough neighborhoods, Angel builds the bridge between culture, class and sticking up for the little guy.
Dubbed a "Chicano Bruce Springsteen," Corsi blends traditional folk with a unique cultural perspective to explore themes of politics, love, and his own self-healing. With a style ranging from grit-driven troubadour to velvet voiced romantic crooner, he delivers raw, empathetic narratives to audiences across the U.S.
Chicano roots, Americana heart, barrio soul, and a fighter's spirit, Angel Corsi brings lessons from his upbringing and pugilist background with a healthy dose of sensitivity, softness and protection for somber people looking for a little hope in dark times.
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
