Two years into the scene, The Revivalists have jumped into New Orleans’ vast pool of music and have made a significant splash. With carefully sculpted live shows, The Revivalists show an innate talent for finding the balance between hooky chorus and indulgent jam, energetic funk and melodic pop, a combination that keeps their ever-growing fan base on their feet wanting more. The Revivalists have won over the respect and admiration of the industry’s finest while having an appeal that spans all genre’s and ages.
The Revivalists’ journey began when singer David Shaw moved to New Orleans in August 2007. While riding his bike, guitarist Zack Feinberg happened upon Shaw playing guitar and singing on his front porch. Taken with the soulful melodies, Zack stopped in his tracks, and the two instantly began jamming. They quickly discovered that their differing musical heritages made for a distictive sound, a sound that would become The Revivalists. Shortly after, Feinberg enlisted drummer friend Andrew Campanelli to join the jubilee. After a series of bassists, George Gekas swooned the band with his blue-collar work ethic and mastery of the instrument in the summer of 2008. And to complete the lineup, the band added Saxaphonist Rob Ingraham in the summer of 2009. Their long awaited LP is in production and is due to be released in the Winter of 2009.
