Since 2015, Hamilton, Ohio’s David Shaw has been annually returning to his hometown to host the Big River Get Down, a multi-act music festival at the city’s RiversEdge Amphitheater (also the site of the recent Whimmydiddle Country music fest).
Shaw also headlines the Get Down with his band The Revivalists, who, over the past decade, have become one of the more popular Rock groups in the country.
Formed in New Orleans, The Revivalists broke big in 2016 with their single “Wish I Knew You”; the Platinum-selling track set a record for the most spins on Alternative Radio in a single week.
The band — which recently opened for The Rolling Stones — has drawn major props from high-profile media outlets like Rolling Stone and Billboard, which praised them for their “creative, compelling blend of musical ingenuity and heart.”
For this year’s fifth-anniversary Big River Get Down, The Revivalists will be joined by The War And Treaty, Brent Cobb, Southern Avenue, Chris Gelbuda and Chicago Soul singer Neal Francis.
