DEADWOOD REVIVAL

Kim and Jason have come full circle, returning to their roots with the unmistakable sound that made a huge splash in the old-time, bluegrass, folk, and even jam band scene years ago. Their powerful and impeccable harmonies, coupled with Jason’s unique clawhammer banjo style and Kim’s driving rhythm guitar, creates a sound that is much fuller than you would expect from a duo. Both multi-instrumentalists, they switch things up from time to time with Kim on bass and Jason on guitar. No matter the instrumentation, their music is described as “rootsy with an edge.” Deadwood Revival serves up a tasty soup of new old-time and folk rock spiced with a bit of classic country. From foot-stomping hoe-downs to pin-dropping tunes, their original songs have been deemed “superbly crafted.” You can tell from the first note that they are crowd-pleasers. They’re fun, adventurous and yet true to their roots. Kim and Jason’s infectious spirits and pure joy in making music together is woven through every tune they play. Whether performing in a cozy pub or for a thousand festival fans, the honest and uplifting music of Deadwood Revival lingers long after the lights come up.
