Holy Ghost Tent Revival
Characterized as "explosively intoxicating," Greensboro, NC's Holy Ghost
Tent Revival cannot be pigeonholed into any popular genre. Melding brass
with banjo, guitar, bass, drums, and keys this six-piece ensemble boasts an
eclectic mash of instruments and styles -- a musical alchemy all their
own.
The overall air of their creation breathes a sense of celebration and
salvation; of a raucous party where everyone's welcome and where even the
most stoic will find their toes tapping and a smile breaking free. It's as
if, in the same spirit as the blues greats that traveled the highways of the
American psyche before them, theirs is not music to lament life's hardships
but rather to celebrate in life itself; with all its hodgepodge of pleasure
and pain.
It is this transcendent energy that continuously propels Holy Ghost Tent
Revival to play the heart and soul of a North Carolina-born, genre-defying
new groove. With a penchant for crafting thoughtfully playful lyrics and
graced with exceptional musical skills, there are seemingly no boundaries
for this group as they travel the country spreading the magic of their
heart-throbbing, foot-stomping, good-time music.
