The two groups have been known to perform together and even borrow band members from each other. It didn\u2019t work out for 2015, but after checking out a few \u2018DBR\u2019 videos, I knew we had to get them here in 2016!

Hot jazz. Pre-war blues. Bluegrass. Southern soul. New Orleans funk. The Dustbowl Revival is what you could call an American roots orchestra with eight full-time members \u2014 and they play it all, mashing the sounds of traditional American music into a genre-hopping, time-bending dance party that coaxes new fire out of familiar coal. This isn\u2019t a throwback band. It\u2019s a celebration of the sounds that have kept America moving for more than a century, performed with all the flair of a medicine show and rooted in the sweat and swagger of a juke joint song swap.<\/p>\n<p>With A Lampshade On, the Dustbowl Revival\u2019s fourth album, finally shines a light on the band\u2019s strength as a live act. They formed in L.A.\u2019s bohemian enclave of Venice Beach in late 2007, the result of a hopeful Craigslist ad posted by bandleader Zach Lupetin, a Midwestern transplant who hoped to join together players in the string band and brass band traditions. Since then, one thing has become clear as the group grows more confident in their abilities: Dustbowl does its best work onstage. They\u2019ve played dive bars, saloons and theaters, front porches and festivals. To watch them onstage is to take part in an evolving conversation between an orchestra and audience. The horns blast, the fiddle and mandolin swoon, and the howling vocals \u2014 which Lupetin shares with Liz Beebe \u2014 rattle off stories about preachers, drinkers, lovers, and holy rollers. The crowd is encouraged to participate, of course\u2026and the crowd often does during With A Lampshade On, whether it\u2019s singing along during the call-and-response verses of 1930s drinking song \u201cWhiskey in the Well\u201d or shouting their approval during Beebe\u2019s bawdy, ballsy original \u201cDoubling Down on You.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A good chunk of this album was indeed recorded live, with many songs taken from a pair of electric concerts at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and the Troubadour in Los Angeles. The point wasn\u2019t to release a live album, though. It was to capture a group of road warriors in their element, playing not to an audience, but with an audience. Noted L.A. live sound expert Alex Chaloff rigged up to twenty microphones to capture the group from every angle, and the sound is remarkably clean and warm. The album tracks that weren\u2019t curated from those two shows were recorded during live studio sessions in New York, with everyone in the band playing at once. It\u2019s raw, close and sweaty, and you can hear every breath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just us in a room, stripped down to the essentials and rocking out,\u201d says Lupetin. \u201cWe wanted to make an album that unleashed that original joy of American roots music, which is a uniquely high-energy, joyful thing that jazz and folk music have both created.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With A Lampshade On makes itself at home right at the crossroads of American jazz and folk traditions. Over the last few years, the band has steadily gained recognition while playing festivals and venues across North America and Europe, notably with Lake Street Dive, Trombone Shorty, Rebirth Brass Band and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Their video for their new single, \u201cNever Had To Go,\u201d was was shot with a new friend of the band: the legendary actor Dick Van Dyke. While their previous studio albums had more of an old-time feel, this new album has a more funky, soulful, let-loose flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago, the Dustbowl Revival witnessed the Preservation Hall Jazz Band merging with Del McCoury\u2019s seasoned bluegrass troupe from Nashville in a series of concerts. It was like a flashbulb going off. That\u2019s the secret ingredient in the Dustbowl Revival\u2019s sound: the bridge connecting two American genres that grew out of places more similar and entwined than people realize, but have grown apart during the century or so since they first became popular. Preservation Hall and the Grand Ole Opry rarely get mentioned in the same sentence.With A Lampshade On reunites these estranged folk traditions with songs that rely as heavily on bluegrass trombone breaks and jazz mandolin runs as funk fiddle solos and gospel sing-alongs.<\/p>\n<p>That unique middle ground \u2014 the place where jazz, folk, gospel and blues all intersect \u2014 is where With A Lampshade On shines brightest. With this album, the Dustbowl Revival isn\u2019t just paying tribute to the sounds of decades long sine past. Rather, the band is participating in the evolution of American roots music, tipping a hat to what\u2019s come before while looking ahead to what\u2019s on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>www. dustbowlrevival.com<br \/>\nwww.facebook.com\/dustbowlrevival<\/p>\n<p>What: Twisted Folk Concert Series Presents The Dustbowl Revival<\/p>\n<p>Where: Twisted Oak Winery, 4280 Red Hill Rd at Hwy 4, Vallecito<br \/>\nWhen: Saturday, May 14th, 2016 \u2013 7:30pm.
