 Elephant Revival From the remote mountain town of Nederland, Colorado, Elephant Revival is a “Funky, Gyptic, Soul-Folk” band comprised of a soulful, seductive mix of brilliant ‘20-something’ songwriters and genius multi-instrumentalists. They are Daniel Rodriguez (vocals, guitar), Bridget Law (fiddle, vocals, mandolin), Dango Rose ( Upright bass, vocals, mandolin), Sage T. Cook (electric banjo/guitar, mandolin, vocals), Bonnie Paine (vocals, washboard, djembe, cello.)Each member possesses remarkable, uncanny vocal abilities, a vast amount of instrumental talent, and brilliant writing abilities; each original song playfully, humbly wise & insightful, evolved and uplifting. Elephant Revival music is a completely satisfying and inspiring intellectual & spiritual experience! Sunday, April 6. The Performing Arts Studio, Norman, Oklahoma. Opening @ 7pm w/ Tulsa Singer-Songwriter, Susan Herndon. Tickets: $10 at the door
Individually and collectively the band members have collaborated and co-billed with some of the most prolific performers of our time like Michael Franti, Bela Fleck, John Paul Jones, Yonder Mountain String Band, Little Feat, New Monsoon, Railroad Earth, Vince Herman, Drew Emmitt, Benny Galloway, Randy Crouch, John Cowan and countless others in personal and public scenarios. Their experiences together and apart are capable of making this band larger than life, but like Rodriguez comments, "This band is definitely an avenue of healing for us." As Rose elaborates, "We are neo-acoustic traditionalists with bohemian minds." As Paine continues, "Always evolving and expanding throughout the breadth of time." For additional information visit the Elephant Revival Myspace site. Opening for Elephant Revival will be Tulsa based singer/songwriter Susan Herndon.  Susan Herndon "Herndon is an elegant and engaging storyteller, widely regarded as one of the best songstresses in Green Country. As impressive as she is with her band, her lyrical and narrative strengths are highlighted even more when it's just her voice and a guitar. While you can expect Herndon to express her folky side with the acoustic performance, don't think her blues and rock voices won't make a visit--even if they do come out in a slightly more restrained manner. Just behind her poetic delivery and occasional French lyrics lies a hint of Chrissie Hynde: a bewitching blend of innocence and attitude." --Gary Hizer, Urban Tulsa Weekly, September 3, 2007For more information visit the Susan Herndon web site. |
