The Revelers on Tour Now Sunday, May 14, 2017 7:30 PM The Towne Crier Cafe, Beacon, NY Details - Please See Ticket Options for The Show and Dining The Revelers joined together to form a Louisiana super-group, combining Swamp-Pop, Cajun, Country, Blues and Zydeco into a powerful tonic of roots music that could only come from Southwest Louisiana. The group was nominated for the Best Regional Roots category for the 58th GRAMMY.

The band features all new original songs from the band, sung in Cajun French and English. Southwest Louisiana is in the midst of another explosion of uniquely American music, with The Revelers at the forefront. As individuals they've contributed to seven separate GRAMMY nominated records - working with Linda Rondstadt, Wayne Toups, Steve Riley, Cedric Watson and more. As a group they play with a sense of empathy and depth that can only be fostered after years of making music together. They have all appeared on the season finale of Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" and they were handpicked by David Simon (producer/creator The Wire) to be featured musicians for the third and fourth seasons of HBO's "Treme." Band Members Daniel Coolik - Fiddle, Guitar Glenn Fields - Drum Blake Miller - Accordion, Fiddle Chas Justus - Guitar Chris Miller - Saxophone The individual members of The Revelers are in high demand having performed and recorded with T-Bone Burnett, Natalie Merchant, Preston Frank, The Duhks, Walter Mouton, Mamadou Diabate, and Tim O'Brien.

Equally at home on a festival main stage, a late night dance party, or a performing arts hall, The Revelers have taken their mission coast to coast in the US and around the world from Ireland to Denmark, to their own Black Pot Festival in Lafayette (now in its 11th year). The sheer power and raucousness of the band's sound is tempered only by their unbelievable tightness as a group.
