The Revivalists are an American rock/soul band formed in New Orleans in 2007.[1] The 7-piece band consists of Ed Williams (Pedal Steel Guitar), David Shaw (Vocals), Zack Feinberg (Guitar), Rob Ingraham (Saxophone), George Gekas (Bass), Andrew Campanelli (Drums), and Michael Girardot (Keys/Trumpet). The group's freshly interesting sound[2] is best described by David Fricke of Rolling Stone as "a Crescent City-rhythm spin on jam-band jubilee."[3] The band released their latest album Men Amongst Mountains on July 17th, 2015 via Wind-up Records, and in March of 2016 was named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of "10 Bands You Need to Know". [4]

Formation

The Revivalists began when guitarist Zack Feinberg met frontman David Shaw. Shaw fatefully encountered Feinberg when the latter happened to be riding his bike. Feinberg, taking a different route than usual, found himself riding past Shaw who was singing a song called “Purple Heart” on his front porch. The two struck up a conversation and got together later that day to jam. Eventually they got their shot at Checkpoint Charlie after passing an open mic audition at that Esplanade Avenue dive bar/laundromat, forming an early version of the band within a week when they decided an official name was needed for their kickoff show at Tipitina’s in New Orleans.[5]

Today, their members also include Ed Williams (pedal steel guitar), Rob Ingraham (saxophone), George Gekas (bass) and Michael Girardot (keys/trumpet).
