Watch: The Dustbowl Revival – “With A Lampshade On”
The band recently announced the July 21 release of their fourth full-length album, With A Lampshade On, on Signature Sounds Recordings. They also released the viral video of new song “Never Had To Go,” which featured the talents of Dick Van Dyke and quickly climbed past 2 million views.
The new album shines a light on the band’s strength as a live act, with many songs record live from a pair of electric concerts at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and The Troubadour in Los Angeles. The intent was to capture a group of road warriors in their element, playing not to an audience, but with an audience. Noted LA live sound expert Alex Chaloff rigged up to twenty microphones to capture the group from every angle, creating a sound that is remarkably clean and warm. The album tracks that weren’t curated from those two shows were recorded during live studio sessions in New York, with everyone in the band playing at once. It’s raw, intimate, and sweaty.
With A Lampshade On attempts to make itself at home right at the crossroads of American jazz and folk traditions. Over the last few years the band has slowly gained recognition and played festivals and venues across North America and Europe, notably with Lake Street Dive, Trombone Shorty, Rebirth Brass Band and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
The band will be touring in support of the album beginning this month, including dates from coast-to-coast and everywhere in between. Check out the itinerary below.
The Dustbowl Revival are what you could call an American roots orchestra with eight full-time members -and they play it all, mashing the sounds of traditional American music into a genre-hopping, time-bending dance party that coaxes new fire out of familiar coal. This isn’t a throwback band. It’s a celebration of the sounds that have kept America moving for more than a century, performed with all the flair of a medicine show and rooted in the sweat and swagger of a juke joint song swap.
