Celebrating its sixth year fostering the rich folk tradition of giving and openness and propelled by an innate need to tell a story in its naked acoustic state, 2013’s edition of The Revival Tour will kick off in March featuring Dave Hause of The Loved Ones, Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath, LA’s Jenny O., Americana singer/songwriter and original tour organizer Chuck Ragan, Seattle-based singer/songwriter Rocky Votolato, NJ-based singer/songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs, with additional artists to be announced.
Starting its five week trek around the US in Corpus Christi on March 15th (with a rousing return to Austin’s SxSW the following night), The Revival Tour will bring the much-celebrated camaraderie that it’s based on and the collaborations that are bred from its essence. "We’re proud to say that we’re embarking on the sixth year of The Revival Tour and we’re honored to be kicking off in the great state of Texas," said Ragan. "I’ve always been overwhelmed and inspired at how these collaborations and combinations of artists come together tour after tour." Adds Owen Youngs, "I’m most excited to throw down with some incredible songwriters and give a good time to the folks who come out to the shows." (tour dates below).
Loosely structured in the form of old-fashioned folk musician get-togethers, The Revival Tour is an ensemble collective in which the participating musicians collaborate and jam, frequently creating unique and inspired once-in-a-lifetime moments of brilliance – often multiple times in a single night. "Being a part of The Revival Tour last year in Europe was definitely one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had," says Votolato. "It reminded me of why I got into playing music in the first place. The spirit of collaboration, humility, and camaraderie keeps the shows feeling real and immediate every night. Chuck Ragan’s work ethic and passion for what he’s doing are inspiring and I’m honored to have the chance to share the stage with him again on this upcoming run of shows!"
