Tonight: The Revelers bring their Cajun, Zydeco, Swamp Pop, Americana to Denver
The Revelers
Tonight, Sunday June 28, at 8 p.m., Baur’s Listening Lounge presents The Revelers, a Louisiana roots music super group that hails from Lafayette, Louisiana. The band incorporates Cajun, Zydeco, Swamp Pop, and Americana into their performances. The Revelers is comprised of founding members from the Cajun bands Red Stick Ramblers and the Pine Leaf Boys; Blake Miller (accordion), Chas Justus (guitar), Daniel Coolik (violin), Glenn Fields (drums), Eric Frey (bass) and Chris Miller (saxophone). Tonight’s show will be their first performance in Denver and it promises to bring audience members to their feet.
This Sunday’s performance is in a long list of summer shows promoting The Revelers’ new self-released album Get Ready. The album comes three years after a strong self-titled debut and their Play the Swamp Pop Classics EP which features blues classic “Let the Good Times Roll” and other danceable tunes.
Get Ready is just as danceable, if not more, and showcases the band’s ability to play multiple genres of music as they experiment with styles spanning from 1950’s pop to the very Cajun roots in which each tune seems to be steeped. The band will play covers, as well as, original songs written by each member of the band.
Tickets are still available for tonight's show and can be purchased at the Baur’s website. Cost for Music Appreciation Society members is $20. Students and seniors can purchase discounted tickets for $15. General admission is $25. Dinner packages are also available.
The Revelers’ music, which is available on CD, vinyl and digital download, can be purchased at their website. In the meantime, come dance with these masterful musicians whose love for the music they play shines through and keeps them circling back to music workshops and festivals all across the country.
