press release: Progressive transcendental folk quintet Elephant Revival will be performing at the Majestic presented by Isthmus on Friday, September 23. The band's album Petals (Thirty Tigers) has been featured in The Huffington Post, Wall Street Journal, UTNE Reader and more. Formed in 2006, Elephant Revival is known for their thoughtful, literary inspired lyrics combined with an eclectic blend of arrangements performed with traditional folk instrumentation.
The five songwriters and multi-instrumentalists' approach is unique and fearless as they create genre-defying, yet highly accessible, music that has continuously evolved into a signature sound. That sound has never been stronger than on their fourth and finest offering, Petals. American Songwriter recently praised their 'characteristically strong harmonies' and 'disparate variety of genres' throughout the new album.
Guided by the songwriting and haunting vocals of Bonnie Paine and Daniel Rodriguez, Elephant Revival has as much in common with American roots music as it does with indie rock. The songs on Petals touch on themes of love, overcoming loss and following your own path while remaining connected to others. Bandmates Bridget Law, Dango Rose and Charlie Rose add beautiful harmonies and superior musicianship, creating an ensemble of guitar, fiddle, washboard, cello, bass, horns, pedal steel, mandolin and banjo.
