Biography

There are at least 3 groups known by the name Revival.

1) Revival is an alt. country band formed by Josh Read and Evan Berodt of Canyon and Jay Farrar’s touring band.

Riding back in on the Horses of War, recent-dead tangles with Canyon and Jay Farrar pushed like bodies out the rear door of memory, these are men on a mission – to assume the aching on behalf of all us sad sinners, to alight in the night for a moon they know is reachable. Open spaces aren’t wide enough, high and lonesome not sparse enough, even the rain not wet enough, for the sea-weary longshoremen of Revival.

April 2006, springtime, something shimmering, fuck the winter, feel the grass. Smoke signals out to Noel White, just up the river, who returns them with an echoing of drums, and an album, tall and strong, is crafted. The experiment explodes into the full dark of day at the studio of J. Robbins, somewhere in the run-down industrial districts between Baltimore and Washington, DC.

Other players stop, strain ears to air, look to the sky, feel the rhythm as much as hear it, drop what they’re doing, wander up the mountain to lend a hand, if only for a moment, a show, a song, a season. Mikal Evans’ harmonies dipping low as her hip-length mane, Hash Vyas’ loping bass lines as rock-solid as his hard-earned indie lineage, Brian Clancy’s four-string also on occasional loan from local legends Dawn of Man, Josh Wenk’s drums thundering through it all – Revival live and in the flesh is no less impressive.
