Dustbowl Revival has always been about pushing the boundaries of what American roots music can be. After celebrating over a decade of sonic adventuring and playing thousands of shows together in ten countries and counting, the group collected a devoted fanbase globally.
After spending years on the road, selling out hometown shows at LA’s famed Troubadour, headlining festivals, and wowing crowds from Denmark to China, Dustbowl Revival never stopped making their joyful, booty-shaking soul songs and cut-to-heart folk-rock ballads that lift up their transcendent live shows.
Founder Z. Lupetin sought to find fellow musicians who shared his roving love of Louis Armstrong, Bob Wills, Old Crow Medicine Show, Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin and the brass bands of New Orleans, but also wanted to write songs like Americana pioneersWilco, Lucinda Williams and even Bruce Springsteen.
Dustbowl Revival is Z. Lupetin (vocals/guitar), Josh Heffernan (drums/percussion), and Lashon Halley (vocals) with the help of Ulf Bjorlin (trombone), Stephen Musselman(guitar/pedal steel), Yosmel Montejo (bass), and Leider Chapotin (trumpet).
