\u201cBest Live Band in LA\u201d – LA Weekly<\/p>\n
Over the past few years, The Dustbowl Revival has been making a name for itself with a vibrant mix of vintage Americana sounds. Critics have proclaimed that this eclectic eight-piece \u201cwould have sounded utterly at home within the hallowed confines of Preservation Hall in New Orleans’ French Quarter\u201d (Los Angeles Times) and their \u201cupbeat, old-school, All-American sonic safaris exemplify everything shows should be: hot, spontaneous, engaging and, best of all, a pleasure to hear\u201d (L.A. Weekly). Rob Sheffield, in Rolling Stone, hailed them as a great band \u201cwhose Americana swing was so fun I went back to see them again the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Their new eponymous album, due out on Signature Sounds on June 16, 2017, however, finds the Los Angeles-based ensemble evolving and refining its music. Their always-joyous sound now reveals a more soulful, funky side that exudes deeper emotions and taps a more modern vibe. <\/p>\n
This exhilarating new sound jumps out on the album\u2019s opening tracks, \u201cCall My Name\u201d and \u201cIf I You Could See Me Now.\u201d Drummer Joshlyn Heffernan and bassist James Klopfleisch lay down a righteous groove that trumpeter Matt Rubin and trombonist Ulf Bjorlin supercharge with their big blasts of horns. This Stax-style soul builds to a pair of showstoppers: \u201cGood Egg\u201d and \u201cThe Story.\u201d The former is a dynamic number that showcases Liz Beebe\u2019s sexy, full-throttled vocals as well as Bjorlin\u2019s dirty trombone solo). On \u201cThe Story,\u201d Beebe teams with band founder Zach Lupetin for an emotionally charged love song that features some infectious interplay between the horn players and the string-men (mandolinist Daniel Mark and fiddler Connor Vance). <\/p>\n
The album\u2019s first single, \u201cBusted,\u201d also exemplifies the sonic leap taken by the band. Spotlighted by Beebe\u2019s slinky jazz vocals, the song mixes traditional American music styles, like the blast of R&B horns and the in-the-pocket drums, with some inventive touches, such as a mandolin plucked like a hip-hop inspired piano, and the upright bass and fiddle played through wah-peddles. The group has said that recording \u201cBusted\u201d was like a door opening for them to create something familiar yet stylistically fresh.<\/p>\n
Even the album\u2019s more acoustic number, like \u201cDebtors\u2019 Prison\u201d and \u201cGot Over,\u201d aren\u2019t as old-timey as they might first appear. \u201cDebtors\u2019 Prison\u201d initially suggests a throwback busker tune, but a closer listen reveals an all-too-contemporary ode with Lupetin singing about the struggles of trying to survive in today\u2019s troubled economic times. Similarly, on \u201cGet Over,\u201d Lupetin delivers another modern-day portrait about a scuffed-up soul battling a whirl of problems who winds up \u201csitting on the kitchen floor \u2026 eating all the ice cream, 2 a.m. on a Tuesday.\u201d Things get a little more optimistic on the sunnier, Bill Withers-inspired \u201cHoney I Love You.\u201d Featuring a guest spot by multi-Grammy-winner and fellow genre-bender Keb\u2019 Mo\u2019, this track serves up a timeless slice of sweet, silky soul music. <\/p>\n
The evolution in the band\u2019s sound has been very much an organic one. Since Signature Sounds released their last album, With a Lampshade On, the Dustbowl Revival has been out on the road, winning over audiences with their free-flowing, joyous live performances. After playing more than 200 shows a year during the last four years, the Dustbowl Revival came to realize that they had outgrown the confining label of a retro-minded band playing music from a bygone era and needed to move in new directions. <\/p>\n
To help them achieve their adventurous musical vision, the band turned to the Grammy Award-winning producer Ted Hutt, who brought with him a background of working with a musically diverse set of acts. A founding member of Irish-American Celtic punk band Flogging Molly, Hutt has not only produced punk groups like Dropkick Murphys and the Bouncing Souls, but also the progressive acoustic outfit Old Crow Medicine Show (whose 2014 release Remedy earned Hutt the Grammy), Memphis Americana rockers Lucero and New York City roots troubadour Jesse Malin. With Hutt\u2019s assistance, the Dustbowl Revival created what they have called \u201cthe tightest, funkiest thing we\u2019ve ever attempted.\u201d <\/p>\n
2017 marks the tenth anniversary of the Dustbowl Revival\u2019s formation. It was back in 2007 when Lupetin, a Midwestern transplant to Los Angeles, posted an ad in Craigslist in hopes of creating a group inspired by brass band and string band traditions. Over the years, the group has been an inclusive outfit that frequently shifted in size before solidifying in its current eight-piece lineup.<\/p>\n
In 2008, Zach Lupetin and the Dustbowl Revival released their debut album, The Atomic Mushroom Cloud of Love. They followed up in 2010 with You Can\u2019t Go Back to the Garden of Eden, which included “Dan’s Jam,\u201d a song that won the Independent Music Awards\u2019 \u201cAmericana Song of the Year.\u201d The next year, the band, now known just as the Dustbowl Revival, put out Holy Ghost EP and their 2013 Carry Me Home CD featured more than 25 Dustbowl Revival-ists. That was also the year the L.A. Weekly crowned them the city\u2019s \u201cBest Live Band.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Dustbowl Revival found a bigger audience when Signature Sounds released With a Lampshade On in 2015. The video for \u201cNever Had To Go,\u201d starring band fan Dick Van Dyke, became an Internet sensation. The group went on to open for bands ranging from Lake Street Dive to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, while also appearing at such festivals as Delfest, Floydfest, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, and, more recently, Norway\u2019s Bergenfest and Tonderfest in Denmark.<\/p>\n
