There are a lot of similarities between the street music of New Orleans and the go-go rhythms I heard growing up in DC. Built on the interplay of melodic rhythms often performed by multiple percussion players, the music itself is alive. There is a communal aspect to the music and it belongs as much to the audience as it does to the players. The Revivalists is very much rooted in this philosophy, that the crowd is integral to the show and the energy we put out is pulled from the people in the room whether its ten or ten thousand.
