Corsicana
Corsicana’s songs are soaring and magnetic. Bird bones aren’t actually hollow, they are interwoven with pockets for air to flow through as an extension of the lungs. Language in Ben’s music are those pockets of breath carrying us higher and higher, allowing us to take flight. And in the glide, there is pensiveness and longing. There is introspection and flagellation. There are mantras and the ways they don’t work. The realization that you must become your own person after allowing yourself to be defined by others. The realization that your parents are just as messed up as you are. The shock of aloneness and the relief of freedom. You could almost call it growing up – except it’s the kind of growing up we have to do every day. A relentless honesty that comes through the associations of egrets and fathers, of turnpikes and lovers, of falling and flying.” – Gion Davis
Corsicana has become an established artist in the Colorado music scene since their debut in 2014, having opened for acts such as Devotchka, Hippo Campus, Deep Sea Diver, The Greeting Committee, & Wye Oak, among others. They have toured the West Coast, Midwest, & Canada – with plans for plenty more. Corsicana’s 3rd full-length, Kept, released in October 2023.
