The Freeway Revival’s roots are derived from classic American music such as rock n roll, blues, soul, country, and Americana. The Freeway Revival is an internationally touring en- semble that blends classic rock, blues, country, and soul into original Americana. The band’s live show is centered around the vocal harmonies as well as showcasing the musical talents of each member. Freeway Revival band members each write and contribute to the creative process which makes for a unique style of songwriting.
The Freeway Revival is a band that was forged on the road. A passion for creating and performing original music, and an extensive tour schedule, has built a seasoned songwriting team who’s music is complete with all the stories of blessings and trials that mold a traveling band. It is this first hand and fast living that give the band an alchemic chemistry and powerful stage presence, that lends to a great live show.
The Freeway Revival’s blend of classic rock, blues, country, and soul incorporates lyrics that are an expression of life on the road. Tasteful guitar harmonies, vocal harmonies, and an assortment of piano and organ melodies provide an all-encompassing, familiar sound.
The Freeway Revival has been blessed with opportunities to open for artists such as Kansas, Ron Holloway, Story of the Year and Devon Allman’s band, The Royal Southern Broth- erhood. The band has toured coast to coast on multiple occasions playing to responsive crowds.
In May 2014, the band traveled to Los Angeles where they recorded their second studio album with John Ryan of Chicago Kid Productions (Allman Brothers Band, Styx, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd). The album features Jorgen Carlsson of Gov’t Mule on bass, and was released during the autumn of 2014.
