The Revivalists
The Revivalists is a powerful, rootsy eight-piece alternative rock band from New Orleans that turns out bluesy anthems. Lead singer David Shaw's crystal clear vocals, a horn section and booming percussion all add up to emotional, yet danceable, hits, like their 2018 hit single “All My Friends” from the album Take Good Care. Country rocker Rayland Baxter opens.
$40.

"All My Friends" by The Revivalists
Striking, sharp, and soulful, with swaggering piano and boisterous horns, "All My Friends" introduces the band's next chapter with confidence and charisma. Marked by songwriting that is both intensely personal and also an escape, Take Good Care is brimming with sonic complexity, celebration, and catharsis. Sometimes raising more questions than answers, it is a reflection of the up-and-down journey of life that we're all on together. The Revivalists have been on an unbelievable ride where ten years of tireless hard work was unexpectedly revved up by the wrongly dubbed "overnight success" of the #1 platinum single "Wish I Knew You." Now, the band returns with a newfound depth and ambition that has brought their songcraft to a whole new level.
"Despite their wildly enhanced stature, the collective has not allowed the success to corrupt the creative ecosystem that has fostered their compelling blend of musical ingenuity and heart. ['All My Friends' is a] rollicking floor-stomper that digs into the raw core of the band's rock and folk roots that flawlessly frays the ethereal sheen..." - Billboard
