Dustbowl Revival to kick off POAC's season
With a blend of soul, jazz, funk and vintage Americana, Dustbowl Revival will headline Pend Oreille Arts Council’s Performing Arts series opening night on Friday, October 13, 7 p.m. at the Panida. The band Shakewell will kick off the evening’s musical festivities with a lot of neo-soul and rock ‘n’ roll.
“This band is infectious! So feel good, I can’t wipe the smile from my face!” If you want to experience this happy feeling, you’ll want to be sure to come to Pend Oreille Arts Council’s Performing Arts Series opening presentation of Dustbowl Revival on Friday, October 13 at 7 p.m. at the Panida.
“One of the best shows I’ve ever seen live. Blew the house away in Columbus Ohio. Can’t wait to see them again.” Stephen Ball posted a few months ago on Dustbowl Revival’s You Tube page. And, if you’re so inclined, you may want to take a peek at their new album for a preview of the exhilarating new sounds this group is becoming known for.
This eight-piece band has evolved their sound over the last ten years. In a description on their website they say that Dustbowl Revival “mines an energizing vein of soul, funk and roots-infused rock that evokes the work of Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin and classic Stax recordings, and fits the band alongside such contemporaries as Nathanial Rateliff & the Night Sweats and St. Paul & the Broken Bones.”
Opening the evening is the band Shakewell from Missoula. If you want to check out their You Tube page, be sure not to look at Shakewell the rapper (they’re not one and the same). Shakewell is a seven-piece band of lifelong friends and collaborators who knock out sounds that will have you kicking off your shoes and dancing in the aisles as they thump out funk, neo-soul and rock ‘n’ roll.
