Revivalists frontman says he’s always happy to come home to Ohio as band heads to Jacobs Pavilion
During the past 16 years, the Revivalists has become a kind of under-the-radar musical force, a group that fuses songwriting prowess and dynamic performances into an exciting, genre-blending Americana mix.
Fronted by Hamilton, Ohio, native David Shaw, the brassy octet formed in 2007 in New Orleans, where Shaw, 40, and guitarist Zack Feinberg had both moved. Within a week, it had a gig at Tipitina’s. Its first EP was released the following year.
