The Revival

Connor Clark and Blue Rhythm Revival is a Nashville-based band that weaves diverse threads of Rock and Roll, Blues, Americana, Southern rock, Jam Band and most importantly, Songwriting. Connor Clark leads with his emotive vocals, guitar playing, and poignant songwriting. The rhythmic heartbeat of CCBRR is none other than a powerhouse of a drummer, Nick Howard. He has been a steadfast collaborator and member of Clark's projects since 2016 lending his feel and precision as reliable as a Pacemaker. Phil Simpson, bass, 'phils' out the low end with a 'pheel' that echoes Motown's sophistication and groove and Seattle's exploration and aggression. No doubt 'fulphilling' The Revival's rhythm section with just enough chaos and restraint. (I'll stop with the puns) The 'Blue Rhythm Revival' is a collective absolutely sustained and supported the 'Nashville Way'; session musicians who donate the time when possible to help expand an inspiration and a dream. Kyle McAllister, guitar, never falls short of adding his distinctive style of Rock and Roll with purpose and intention. He also never fails to remind Connor that "hey, that's just rock and roll baby." By all means, Kyle is the 'Dickie' [Betts] to Clark's 'Dwayne'. Introducing CCBRR's vocal orchestra and auxillary: Corina Joy McAllister lends her soulfully resonant R&B vocals that would put a Cathedral Organ's 40 foot pipes to shame. She's also known to put a Piano in its place, and, in a place that it belongs. Aubrey Shamel further expands on the vocal submersion providing her influence as Blue Grass artist whose voice would rival the power and sustain of a Train Horn. The Revival background singers are more than background, they're leads. Connor Clark & Blue Rhythm Revival [CCBRR] stand as a testament to Rock and Roll. The music pays homage to royalty by drawing inspiration from The Allman Brothers, Little Feat, Neil Young, Grateful Dead and Gov’t Mule to the pioneers of the present like All Them Witches, My Morning Jacket, Drive-By Truckers, Alabama Shakes, and Jason Isbell. The result is a sonic journey that bridges the gap between nostalgic echoes and a contemporary pulse of its own. A Revival focused around the soul of a jam with the heart of a song. Get Revived
