Consuelo’s Revenge
Burnside Stage Directions
Saturday, September 6 |
3:00PM - 3:45PM
Consuelo’s Revenge is a ragtag crew of musical storytellers from Providence, Rhode Island, known for turning every show into a foot-stomping folktale. With fiddle, sax, accordion and guitars in hand, they brew up a sound that’s as worldly as it is wild – blending folk, blues, klezmer, rowdy bluegrass and soulful Americana into one irresistible musical concoction. Come dance with us!
Winner of the 2025 Motif Music Awards for Best Overall Americana Act and Best Live Americana Act, Consuelo’s Revenge has been getting Rhode Islanders on their feet since 2012 with its unique brand of high-energy, euro-folk infused “gypsy Americana.” Local tales of joy and sorrow burst to life through soaring vocals, multi-part harmonies, and richly layered instrumentation that brings together the diverse voices of fiddle, accordion, and saxophone.
