The Revivalists Tickets

The explosion you heard on South Street Wednesday evening, November 19, was the roof being blown off the TLA by the 7 piece music machine, The Revivalists from New Orleans. Although they've been together for 7 years they are rather unknown in the major market Philadelphia area. Well...that's about to change real soon. They have a non stop touring schedule and have created quite the buzz wherever they play. I have been seeing this band live for the past few years, and wether they are playing for a crowd of 30 or 3,030 they play with the same high energy from start to finish...and leave the crowd wide mouthed and wanting more. Entering the venue early and securing my favorite spot front and center I waited with great anticipation for what I knew was coming. I always enjoy talking to the people around me and know who has or hasn't seen these guys before. The ones who have all share the same enthusiasm as I...The ones who haven't surely feed off my energy and excitement. I tell them they are going to be in for a real treat! As the band took the stage you can tell they were as excited as the crowd, and when the first notes were played you can tell it was gonna be a fun action packed ride. The energetic yet passionate vocals of David Shaw were complimented all evening by the bands tightness and full spectrum of sound. With Zack Fienberg on guitar, George Gekas on bass, Ed Williams on pedal steel guitar, Rob Ingraham on sax, Micheal Girardot on keyboard and trumpet, and Andrew Campinelli on drums they played flawlessly, often interacting with one another and feeding off the enthusiastic crowd! Let's not forget the many time David Shaw jumped off the stage, danced, sang, and interacted within the crowd! When the show ended I turned to the people I spoke with prior who had seen them before and you can tell they were pleased and satisfied! Then turning to the ones who were enjoying their first live performance by The Revivalists the reaction was what I expected...amazement and anticipation for the next time they'll see them again!! Dave gave me his set list and without hesitation I gave it to the female first timer next to me who couldn't have been more thrilled and appreciative! Having met the band and become friends with them in the past years I can honestly say they are as kindhearted and passionate as they are talented...and they are VERY talented! It's been very gratifying witnessing the progression of their success and they a well deserving of everything good coming their way!

Best show I've seen since May, and I've seen at least 20 acts since then. These guys are electric on stage, and the Sinclair is an awesome venue!

Incredible artists and performers - go see this show!

These guys are the real deal. Don't miss out on a full out rocking concert.

Great show and great venue! They rocked the house.

The Revivalists is our FAVORITE band! This band hits the notes of many genres, and you can't beat that New Orleans energy. Bring them back often!!!

Revivalists recommended. Lead singer very good, enlivening the stage, and engaging the audience. Original lyrics. All 6 members of the band highlighted. Words flowed well, not repetitive. Mike for the secondary singer never worked, who is primarily an excellent saxophonist. Sound too loud, even with ear plugs. Venue at The Sinclair not recommended.

The Revivalists are my absolute new favorite band, bringing a funky and fresh sound out of New Orleans. First time to the Civic Theatre and was very impressed, beautiful venue. Would love to see this band, and venue again!

I've typed several posts, blogs, comments... Whatever you want to call them, prior to and leading up to this concert and in every one of them I purposely asked "how many times have you ever been guaranteed a Great time? We'll here is another one!" And I couldn't have been more correct. Folks...if you haven't seen these kids live you are really, really missing out. Do yourself a favor and look The Revivalists up, see when they are playing near you (these guys play every where) and go see them.

The Revivalists are an absolutely amazing band. The way they interact with the audience makes us feel a part of the show. Their own songs as well as covers of others' songs moves you down deep and out through the toes. There is no way to stay still when listening to these guys, I'm constantly dancing! I am so ready for a new album from them!

Local 662 hasn't shaken it's gutter punk roots. Its a dark and dingy venue filled with cigarette smoke. It was not very fitting for the Revivalist and the crowd they attract. Also, the sound guy was horrible. He has no clue what he is doing and needs to work on honing his craft. Also, the opening bands were HORRIBLE!! Ranging from solo electric guitar screamo, to some kind of sublime rock , to some kind of throwback to Michelle Branch singer-songwriter style. I came to see a New Orleans funky soul band, not these other genres that have no relation musically. By the time the Revivalist took the stage, i felt defeated by the evening of subpar music and could not enjoy myself. One last note, a headliner band should not start 4 HOURS after start time. The venue was clearly trying to get people in the door early to see their own local bands that had no relation to the actual headliner. Maybe it would have worked if the bands were of a similar genre but they clearly the furtherest thing from it. Just a bad venue with no vision on how to run good shows. It takes more than a space and a bar.

I heard these guys on Satellite Radio, Jam on station. Tight grooves, they don't fit the jam band mold. The show was awesome.. I will look forward to their return to Baltimore.
