Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Six piece rock & roll band Holy Ghost Tent Revival will be releasing their new album, Right State Of Mind, on September 16th. The band, well known for delivering a fast-paced, horn-driven rock and roll experience, will be touring throughout the fall in support of their forthcoming release. For more information, please visit: holyghosttentrevival.com.
Formed in 2007, Holy Ghost Tent Revival consists of Stephen Murray, Matt Martin, Kevin Williams, Hank Widmer, Charlie Humphrey, and Ross Montsinger. Together, they have spent the last several years in an unceasing effort to hone their unique sound, which NPR describes as that of a “soul-rock horn band that recalls ’60s and ’70s classic-rock influences such as The Band and The Flying Burrito Brothers, contemporary indie-rock acts like Dr. Dog, and New Orleans brass-band jazz.” As a result, Holy Ghost Tent Revival have earned themselves the honor of sharing the stage with acts like Shovels & Rope, Dr. Dog, Lake Street Dive, Pokey LaFarge, Langhorne Slim & The Law, and many more.
Their third full-length studio album, Right State of Mind, was conceived in Philadelphia under the creative wing of Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Man Man, The Sheepdogs) and sees the band putting many of the conventions characteristic of their earlier work to bed in exploration of more soul-rock leanings. The album dances nimbly between genres while touching on themes of alienation, moving on after death, the joy of staying up all night in the city, the interconnected nature and beauty of life, and longing for a home that is no more.
Holy Ghost Tent Revival will release their new album, Right State Of Mind, on September 16th, 2014.
