Meet The Revelers
The Revelers take their southern roots to the next level! The band’s “Swamp Pop” style has bewitched the music scene with its mix of Cajun, Country, and Rock ‘n’ Roll. The unique sound originated in the 1950s and 1960s by French-speaking teenagers in southern Louisiana. It has since expanded to other regions throughout the world, gaining credibility with larger artists such as Creedence Clearwater Revival and Tony Joe White.
Critics find The Revelers’ 21st century rockabilly truly revolutionary as it creates a unique place in music history. Learn more about each of the band members:
