Consisting of three members, The Last Revel uses traditional folk-minded three part harmonies with honest and meaningful lyrics to deliver a passionate and soul stirring performance. On a backbone of rebellious rock attitude and raw traditional instrumentation, band members pride themselves on an unrelenting work ethic and a deep hunger to write, perform, and entertain.

The Last Revel is known for crafting a rowdy live performance that inspires crowds to move to every tune. The Last Revel honed their style at a weekly open mic night at a dive bar in Southern Minnesota. Their performance spread by word of mouth until the bar was at maximum capacity every Thursday. When the dance floor was full, folks danced on tables. The Last Revel strives for such wild performances at every show. The Last Revel received great response from press and fans alike from their first official recording entitled, “The Mason Jar EP” in February of 2013.

With their debut full-length release entitled “UPROOTED” in February of 2014, The Last Revel’s momentum continues to grow and The Band is poised to take their sound to anywhere that welcomes their own brand of lyric driven, foot moving, folk music.

Skyfoot is a powerful jam-rock band from Boston, MA.  Forming in early 2011, the band has played 200+ shows all across the United States.  You’ll find them rocking New England regularly and on down the eastern seaboard in the Carolinas and Virginias.  In summer 2014 the band spent 2 months touring the Northwest U.S. with shows in Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.

Skyfoot plays a variety of genres from funk, rock, & bluegrass to sonic landscapes and fusion.  Their live show features tight compositions and jamming that give way to memorable moments that are recorded and archived. If you dig the sounds of Phish, The Derek Trucks Band, Bruce Hornsby, Grateful Dead, you’ll be stoked you heard Skyfoot!

Tyler Arnott (guitar) thoughtfully threads through songs and jams with his genuine and tasty finger style playing. Eric McEwen (Keyboards and Lead Vocals) doubles as the bassist with crazy left hand lines.  Aaron Morey (Drums) fills out the rest with a dynamic approach to jam drumming with reverence to all the best drummers of the scene.

Skyfoot’s 2012 debut album “Eternal Bend” features nine original songs including favorites Maybe Mississippi, Indigo, and The Mountain.  On July 1, 2014  the band released their 2nd studio album entitled “Room For Space” recorded in West Springfield, MA at the Rotary Records.

AfroZep is a band that plays high-energy afro-beat and afro-pop versions of Led Zeppelin songs, complete with horns and percussion.  Wilson, Marshall and Ryan conceptualized the idea in the Summer of 2009. Less than 6 months later they were touring the Midwest performing in St. Louis, Iowa City, Kansas City, Madison and Rock Island.  Their first hometown performance was a few months later at the Bottom Lounge and a few months after that AfroZep was being recognized by critics from the Chicago Reader and were voted Best Led Zeppelin Cover Band.  The band hit the studio shortly after that and quickly gained the attention of Richard Milne at WXRT where they were listed as ‘Our Led Zeppelin Cover Band of Choice’.  Less than two years later AfroZep has headlined clubs such as the Fox Theatre in Boulder, Quixoes in Denver and Lincoln Hall in Chicago; performed at Universities, festivals and private parties and opened for national and international touring acts such as Cornmeal and Tinariwen.

Johnny Campbell is a third generation fiddler hailing from Nashville, Tennessee. He grew up listening to Bluegrass greats Bill Monroe, Jimmy Martin, Jim & Jesse & the Virginia Boys, and the Stanley Brothers. Johnny’s long-bow fiddling style is modeled after the late, great Kenny Baker, as well as his brother Jimmy Campbell, who played extensively with both Jim & Jesse and Bill Monroe. To Johnny, Bluegrass is not just a genre of music, but a lifestyle. Sticking strictly to the roots of first generation bluegrass musicians, Johnny brings enthusiasm and charisma to an oft mislabeled musical category. Johnny has won several fiddle competitions over the years, including Uncle Dave Macon Days, LaGrange Fiddle Competition, and Yeehaw Junction. He is a founding member of the Volunteer String Band (a Nashville Jamgrass band), has toured with James Monroe and helped San Francisco based band Windy Hill win several band competitions, including Emerging Artist in The California Bluegrass Association, First Place at Yonder Mountain String Band’s String Summit and Second Place at Rocky Grass. He currently plays with Chris Henry & The Hardcore Grass and David Davis & The Warrior River Boys. After 35 years as a sideman Johnny is now up front. In the oft’ heard words of Johnny himself, “Let’s Pick!” Johnny started the Bluegrass Drifters in Santa Cruz, California with his wife Whitney. The band has gone through some changes since moving back to Nashville and Johnny’s really excited about the current line-up.
