The Dustbowl Revival is a Venice, California-based collective that merges old school bluegrass, gospel, pre-war blues and the hot swing of New Orleans to form a spicy roots cocktail. Named “Best Live Band in LA” by The LA Weekly, each Dustbowl performance promises to be a white-knuckle ride through the history of American folk music with old timey dance hall sound made fresh by some of the best soloists in the business. The band often includes fiddle, mandolin, trombone, trumpet, clarinet, ukulele, drums, tuba, organ, a bass made from a canoe ore, harmonica and plenty of washboard and kazoo for good luck. They have settled into an eight piece touring machine- rattling ceilings and sometimes bringing their grinning sound into the street.
