The Freeway Revival

The Freeway Revival

What happens when you combine a classic rock sound along the lines of The Allman Brothers with a jammy fun almost Phishy sound?  You get The Freeway Revival!

A few of the guys in the band found me at the bus during Floydfest18 and we chatted for a little bit about their music.

Just a side note… there is no one named Eric in the band, I was confusing Jonathan with another interview I was working on.  My bad!

From their website: Dedicated song crafting has always been the cornerstone of The Freeway Revival. A group forged on the road, they continue to use their lyrics and powerful vocal harmonies as a window into the life of a traveling band on the current American landscape. Their refreshing and explosive blend of southern roots rock, funk, mountain music and psychedelic soul translates into a genre-dissolving sound that feels strangely familiar yet remains entirely unique to itself.

Being amongst the many renowned bands to earn a place on the roster of Leeway’s Homegrown Music Network, Freeway Revival has been turning heads all over the east coast and continually growing a dedicated grassroots fan base. They have shared the stage with artists like Dumpstaphunk, Lukas Nelson, Melvin Seals, Everyone Orchestra, Big Something, Zach Deputy, Keller Williams, Toubab Krewe, Dangermuffin and many other great national and regional artists. After the successful release of their 2016 self-titled EP, The Freeway Revival burst onto the scene in the fall of 2017 with their heavy hitting debut album “Revolution Road”, which appeared as #20 on Jambands.com National Radio Charts.

Performing live, The Freeway balances organized, well-crafted tunes with a jam ethos that lends a raw and explorative power to the music. The blend of tasteful guitar harmonies, vibrant four-part vocal harmonies, and a unique assortment of organ and piano melodies creates a soundscape that is both musically intricate and soulfully energetic. Rest that on the groove of a solid rhythm section, and you are sure to feel the magnetic force of this band! Each member plays a vital role in making the live experience unforgettable, and the journey is ongoing and exponential as the group allows the livelihood of what they do to shape their sound and experience – thus forming their mantra ‘Live the Freeway’.
