   About The Revivalists

*Feel free to contact us at TheRevivalistsNOLA@gmail.com or through ye olde myspace.*


Since forming in October 2007 The Revivalists have already made a large impact in New Orleans and are branching out regionally. They play original rock music with creativity, energy, and impressive ability. They add a unique sound to the New Orleans music scene and can move an audience in a lot of different ways. The group has grown to headline many of New Orleans’ great music venues such as The Howlin’ Wolf, Tipitina’s, and One Eyed Jacks. They are a recurrent opener for the famous Rebirth Brass Band and have been featured on WWOZ New Orlean’s Radio with live performances. The Revivalist’s journey began when singer, David Shaw moved to New Orleans in August 2007 from Columbus, Ohio. One day, shortly after Dave’s arrival, guitarist Zack Feinberg was riding his bicycle around the neighborhood. Shaw was sitting on his front porch, playing guitar and singing his songs. Zack stopped in his tracks upon hearing the soulful vocals bellowing through the air. They spent the rest of the day listening to music and sharing songs. The neighbors quickly became musical compadres, creating a firestorm of new music with the group that became known as The Revivalists. Shortly after the chance encounter with Dave, Feinberg enlisted drumming friend Andrew Campanelli to join the jubilee. And in summer of 2008, after a series of competent bassists, George Gekas swooned the band with his blue-collar work ethic and mastery on the instrument. The Revivalists are a raw talent eager to keep on growing. They have high aspirations and plan on sticking around a while. So get hip to this trip and jump aboard the Revivalist’s pleasure van

PRESS:

"The Revivalists formed in the perfect New Orleans way—as strangers brought together by music...Judging them by their self-titled EP, the Revivalists can play JazzFest and the crowd would love them: the audience would get funky and sing along to “Common Cents;” They’d sway to the song “Soulflight;” they’d love them, no doubt...There are audiences across the country that are starved for soulful and funky music, and we’re so spoiled that we’ve been presented with yet another option".
— Caroline DeBruhl for ANTIGRAVITY Magazine 9/08

"Their sound derives from New Orleans jazz, blues, funk and modern rock. The club grooved, the drinks flowed, the crowd was high and the music was full of eclectic flavors."
-Garret Cleland for The Loyola Maroon 9/25/08

“The Revivalists know how to infect a live venue with a sense of purpose and energy. Their performances veer from pop sensible and anthemic to progressive and brooding, often within the space of the same song (often within the space of the same minute, in fact), and show an innate talent for finding the balance in the tricky dichotomy of a hooky chorus and an indulgent jam. The overall effect is inspiring, and, most importantly, never boring.”
- Someamerican.com/originals 10/08

"One of the only new bands to catch my ear in the last year has been The Revivalists...They are a return to organic sounds and fat grooves, hip lyrics and good tunes. I highly recommend going to see them play, and supporting them by buying the CD."
-Kevin O'Day for NewOrleans.com 9/16/08

“There definitely is no better live music than The Revivalists, at least in my mind for right now, we wish you good luck and to keep going and keep giving it to us for many more years.”
–DJ Sherwood Collins WWOZ 90.7 New Orleans Music Show stated on air 10/9/08

"Considering it takes most bands so much longer than a year to make such an impact and gather this many fans, these guys must be lucky... Nope, they're just that good!
-Meghan Jones for NewOrleans.com 10/4/08

"CDBABY.com Editor's Pick" in American Traditional Rock and Jam-Band Genres
-November 2008

"WWOZ Show Host's 1 CD Pick for 2008" "This band really hits me: Great songwriting, awesome vocalist, killer musicians . . . all from college-age kids. I think they can really hit it big."
-Sherwood Collins January 2009

"With the crowd gathered from the stage to the door, they served up a set of gritty, reggae-inflected rock that launched one of the most out-of-control parties that I’ve experienced in quite some time. Wrapping feel-good, danceable melodies around funky, shape-shifting jams, their songs came to life as their young, energetic fans latched on to and got down to their grooves"
-Groovescapes.com 2/7/09 about 1/31/09 concert at Tipitina's

As the self-appointed biggest damn Rev fan in Hattiesburg, I'm gonna throw my suggestion in the hat for the name of the album: Soul's Too Loud pretty much sums up the sound for me. You cats' souls is way too loud! I'm just sayin'.
