About
FOLK SOUL REVIVAL is an upbeat, rootsy acoustic group from the mountains of Appalachia. Their diversity, creativity and passion is evident among those who have witnessed the boys hone their craft onstage. With their distinct vocal approaches, back-porch instrumentation, haunting four-part harmonies and sheer talent, they have garnered much success and have attracted a large following.
The band has shared the stage with such high profile acts as Jason Isbell, vocalist Justin Townes Earle, Tim Easton, Mel McDaniel, The Felice Brothers and Chris Janson. They have also headlined many shows in various venues, to great success, been featured in several press outlets and have particpating in larger regional summer festivals (ie: Blue Plum, Floydfest, and Rhythm and Roots.)
Their debut CD, "Good Enough" was just released, independently, and has been a sweeping success. The band has just attracted the attention of Lonesome Records, and talk of a follow up is commencing. Hailing from the Appalchians, with its expressive and traditional musical heritage, has helped to shape and define the sound of FOLK SOUL REVIVAL. Each of the individual musicians bring some of their own, unique and personal influences to the group, and as a result, the music is a fresh amalgamation of what Americana music should be. FOLK SOUL REVIVAL is a crowd pleasing reminder of the essence of live music.
Their ability to perform toe tapping- jugband type jams, touching ballads about love and loss, traditional folk type songs, and the occasional unique take on some long forgotten classic Top-40 hit are what keeps the seats filled and the show-goers smiling. Truly they are "just the right mix of rowdy and roots."
