Elephant Revival is a collaboration of five young, very talented, dynamic and distinctive singer/songwriter/ musicians who meld into something in-all-ways wonderful. Although a relatively young musical entity, Elephant Revival has already acquired a large, diverse, and loyal following in Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and New England.
The music is virtually original with all members contributing songs and compositions.
The band is influenced by traditional musical forms and has strong roots in Reggae, Bluegrass, Rock, Folk, Funk, Celtic and Jazz. Meanwhile, the underlying groove remains fresh by maintaining a modest hip-hop sensibility. An overall strength is the quality of the original tunes, powerful lyrics and smorgasboard of String instruments : some of the distinctive parts of the music are Bonnie Paine of Oklahoma's angelic vocals and unique percusions . Bridget Law of Boulder Colorodo's stirring fiddle, Dango Rose of Chicago Illinoise's focused groove, Sage Cook of Oklahoma's funky banjo strummin and Daniel Rodriguez of Mystic Conneticut's unique finger style guitar and smooth
vocals. However, the collaboration and the harmonies become far greater than the parts.
It is evident when playing Live together that there is a deep common thread between them. Aside from music they are bonded together by their love of travel, seeing
new people and places, seeking new adventures and leaving a trail of inspiration from their thought provoking lyrics and highly evolved, happy and carefree natures.
In November Bonnie and Bridget were invited to perform on stage with Michael Franti at the Hgher Ground in Burlington Vt to a very appreciative sold out crowd. Members of Elephant Revival have recently performed with or opened for music legends such as Little Feat, Dr. John, George Clinton and PFunk, John Cowan, Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon, Kirk Rundstrom of Split Lip Rayfield (RIP) and there will be many, many more.The Buzz is spreading or you might say, Itz Evolving! Catch it if you can!
“Overall the sound is new musical wine in a new bottle with a powerful vitality that gets a room moving and dancing, strong word that gets an audience thinking, amidst the power of trance.” -
