ABOUT DUSTBOWL REVIVAL: The Dustbowl Revival is an Americana Soul band with eight full-time members who mash the sounds of New Orleans funk, bluegrass, soul, pre-war blues, and roots music, into a genre-hopping, time-bending dance party that coaxes new fire out of familiar coal.
ABOUT THE SIDLEYS: The Sidleys, fronted by husband-and-wife duo Annie and Steve Sidley, alongside their talented sons Sean, Colin, and Ian, DC’s first family of rock and soul delivers a fusion of soulful melodies and infectious beats. Influenced by legends like Stevie Wonder and The Beatles, their sound is both timeless and contemporary.
