The Revivalists: Warm New Orleans Funk Rock

Soundcheck | Aug 14, 2014

Just with its name alone, The Revivalists evokes the tradition of New Orleans funk that surrounds its hometown. With big horns, wah-wah guitar, and indelible, funky rhythms pervading each song, the band's latest release, City Of Sound, projects that NOLA feel loud and clear.

But, as evidenced in "Navigate Below," there's a strong rock sensibility, teased out by the growl of lead singer David Shaw. Renowned for its live performances, The Revivalists' showcase an uncanny ability to genre-blend and create a sound that at once calls back to the past and navigates its own distinct path. Hear The Revivalists perform live in the Soundcheck studio.

Set List:

  • "Criminal"
  • "Navigate Below"
  • "Soul Fight"

The Revivalists perform at The Watermark tonight.
