Dustbowl Revival are an eight-piece Americana Soul band from Venice, CA.
They have a mixture of New Orleans sounds, Americana, a little blues, and roots-rock.
Over the last five years Dustbowl has toured over 200 days per year and become known for their free-flowing and joyous live shows, combining their funk rhythm and brass section with a fast-picking string band section. They have toured China as a guest of the state department and headlined festivals like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Bergenfest (Norway) and Tonder Festival (Denmark). The band received a big wave of attention with their music video that featured famous actor Dick Van Dyke for "Never Had to Go", which garnered over 10 million cumulative views.
From Outside Lands Music Festival: "It was an old-time medicine show featuring the kind of roots music...whose Americana swing was so fun I went back to see them again the next day." - Rolling Stone
AWARDED BEST LIVE BAND IN LA! "In a city like Los Angeles, home to musical stars in nearly every known genre, handing out the Best Live Band title is not easy. But the free-thinking local collective Dustbowl Revival's upbeat, old-school, All-American sonic safaris exemplify everything shows should be: hot, spontaneous, engaging and, best of all, a pleasure to hear. " - LA Weekly
With Support from Tori Sheard
Tori Sheard is a folk-pop singer songwriter. Her earthy and ethereal sound finds its nuances in the likes of Daughter and Florence and The Machine. Entangled with folk and indie undertones, her poetic song writing gained the attention of Caffe Nero, for whom she was January’s Artist of the Month. The songstress’ debut EP, ‘Edge of the Earth’ graced the iTunes alternative charts at #27 (Number 20 in Poland!) and continues to gain popularity. Hailing from Nottingham, she’s quickly made her mark after selling out the city’s famous Rough Trade and The Bodega before turning 20. She recently supported musician Jon Allen, and now joins The Dustbowl Revival on some of their UK tour dates.
Pay as you feel (donations on exit)
“Energizing Americana with a shot of soul, funk and roots-infused rock that evokes the work of Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin and classic Stax recordings, and yet fits the band alongside such contemporaries as Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and St. Paul & the Broken Bones.”
