“Today’s folk movement has been evolving faster than ever and it’s a real joy to see and hear true honest music with simple instruments become appreciated by the general public. Revival is certainly music from the people for the people and this world is overflowing with inspiration and artists for that energy. There will always be simplicity, there will always be basics and it’s hard for me to see that ever aging.”

— Chuck Ragan

“In the late 1960’s my mother was in Washington, D.C., singing folk music with her friends and when I was a kid she sang these songs in the house along with the hymns from our local church. Now that I’ve grown up and have become a musician, I’m really proud to be a part of this year’s Revival Tour. I feel that this is the heart of what we all do: It’s four guys and their guitars, sharing songs and traveling. I feel like I get to carry on my mother’s tradition as well as a tradition of my heroes. Hope you all enjoy.”

— Brian Fallon

“Being a part of what Chuck has been building over the past few years is a real honor. Having been in touring bands for the greater part of my life, I’ll say the best parts are the connections we make along the way. I am lucky to say that Chuck, Brian and Dave are some of the people I’ve made extra strong connections with; they’re very special people and I feel that we all started doing this for similar reasons. We all love the music and we’d like to think that we’re bringing some positive energy into the world.”

— Dan Andriano

“What can I say? This tour will be the highlight of my year. I’m a huge fan of what Chuck is building with The Revival Tour, a collective show where everyone’s ego is left at the door and we can all collaborate in ways we don’t always get to when playing in our various bands. Brian, Chuck and Dan are old friends so there’s no way this won’t be immensely fun and it will be an honor to share the stage with such great songwriters. Stock up your bars, put on your best outfits and get your singing voices ready, we’re coming for you!”
