RONSTADT REVUE is a 7-piece ensemble of world-class, professional musicians out of South Jersey/Philadelphia that covers the entire career of Linda Ronstadt (all genres including Spanish-language material). The group is led by the remarkable vocalist, Gesenia, who doesn’t just channel Ronstadt’s vibrant sound, she embodies her very spirit. Gesenia spent an entire year searching for just the right musicians to fully showcase Ronstadt’s music, from country rock to mariachi to big band to pop-rock. And the result of her efforts is Ronstadt Revue — the world’s finest Linda Ronstadt tribute show.

Each member of the band is a seasoned, talented musician fully dedicated to recreating the sounds and vibe of a Linda Ronstadt live performance from back in the day. But of course, no Ronstadt tribute band can work without “that voice.” And if you close your eyes, Gesenia will have you believing that Linda really is with us on the stage. This group is so authentic that it has racked up high praise from three of Linda Ronstadt’s former band members: Dan Dugmore, John Beland, and Herb Steiner! Who has co-produced Ronstadt Revue’s recently released (2022) album. Mr. Beland has appeared with the band in concert at selected shows across the country.

“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 authentic. There are tribute bands and then there is this. Don’t miss it!” – John Beland

Comments from recent presenters:

“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, Texas

“Gesenia as Linda has an incredible voice that is powerful enough to duplicate all 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. The crowd couldn’t get enough. Highly Recommended!” — Rocky Salperto, Director, 4th of July Festival, Town of Orange, CT
