Holy Ghost Tent Revival

    • Holy Ghost Tent Revival has taken its share of sonic detours over the course of four studio albums and is all the stronger for it. Birthed of a banjo-driven fireball of ragtime and swing energy nearly a decade ago, the seven-piece has evolved to include a rhythm section with a Stax-like groove, three and four-part harmonies that echo the Beatles one moment and prime-era Motown the next, and a horn section rooted in classic Memphis soul that prompted comparisons by NPR to The Band and The Flying Burrito Brothers. Now after energizing crowds for the likes of Lake Street Dive, Dr. Dog, Shovels and Rope, and Robert Randolph & the Family Band, the Asheville, NC-based crew is primed to headline its own national main stage tours.
