Bio/Highlights:
Ronstadt Revue is the premier touring celebration of Linda Ronstadt’s 40+ year career. The show features the remarkable vocalist, Gesenia, who doesn’t just channel Ronstadt’s vibrant sound, she positively embodies her very spirit. The repertoire presented spans all of Ms. Ronstadt’s musical genres, including Spanish-language material (as Gesenia is, herself, Latina). Indeed, Ronstadt Revue is so authentic and professional that 2 of Linda Ronstadt’s own band members (Dan Dugmore & John Beland) are co-producing their album and Mr. Beland appears with the band in concert at selected shows across the country.
Here are some typical comments from recent Presenters:
“Ronstadt Revue feat. Gesenia had the Dosey Doe crowd captivated from start to finish. You do not want to miss this show!!”
— Chelsa Floyd, Dosey Doe, The Woodlands, TX
“The show was fantastic! Gesenia is spot on with Ronstadt’s iconic sound and the band is top notch. The audience absolutely loved it and begged me to bring them back again.”
— Chad Hilligus, Chief Executive Officer, Gallo Center for the Arts, Modesto, CA
“Our crowd LOVED this show. Gesenia does an incredible tribute to Linda Ronstadt and the band sounded great. The nostalgia vibe was off the charts. We can’t wait to bring them back.”
— Chris Carter, Executive Director of the Bankhead Theater, Livermore, CA
“It’s a jaw-dropping experience to hear Gesenia sing. She is so authentic to Linda Ronstadt’s recordings, you can hardly believe your ears. The instrumentals and background vocals are equally impressive and our audience was super-excited by this show. The band is a sweet bunch of people and delightful to work with. Overall, it was one of my all-time favorite shows and it was a joy to host them.”
— Sharon Brass, The Barnhill Center at the Historic Simon Theater, Brenham, TX
“Gesenia as Linda has an incredible voice that is powerful enough to duplicate all of the greatest hits! She and her band have a tremendous stage presence as well, and really interact with their fans. The Ronstadt Revue was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we very much look forward to their return!”
— Lindsay Pasquantino, The Riviera Theatre, North Tonawanda, NY
“I have been running our event in New Haven County for ten years now and we have had some of the top bands from the US & Canada. I have never seen such a crowd reaction as we had with The Ronstadt Revue. The band is tight and their harmonies are spot on. Gesenia is a star in the making. Crowd couldn’t get enough. Highly Recommended!”
— Rocky Salperto, Director, 4th of July Festival, Town of Orange, CT
And this from Linda’s former bandleader, John Beland:
“Every time they play, I’m catapulted back to 1970 on the stage with Linda. This is a fabulous collection of musicians and Gesenia makes the hair on my arms stand up and tingle when she sings. The Ronstadt Revue is the real deal. There are tribute bands and then there is this. Don’t miss it!”
— John Beland, former bandleader for Linda Ronstadt
