DEADWOOD REVIVAL

“One the hottest acoustic band on the Northwest scene is back!” Deadwood Revival's Kim Trenerry, Jason Mogi, and Ches Ferguson have an undeniable musical connection as they dish up, in ample supply, some foot stompin’, banjo pickin’ harmony singin’, spirit liftin’ new roots music.

After a show folks often leave humming one of the mighty fine DwR originals with “smoking’ hooks”. Both Kim and Jason contribute songs which chronicle their own life journey from Jason’s homage to a 1966 VW bus called “Daisy”, to Kim’s sweeping snapshot of a six month road trip in “Ain’t the Buyin’ Kind. The traditional tunes are bass thumping, rhythmically solid and sometimes spin into moments of improvisation with the clawhammer banjo taking the lead role.

The ”magnificent vocal blend” between Kim & Jason is so powerful that their voices truly become one. Their harmonies are perfectly in-sync and draw the listener in. Reviewers all comment on Jason’s banjo picking, calling it “unique, captivating, incredible, imaginative and in one case…”knocked out by the sheer drive”. Bluegrass Now reviewer Joe Ross claims, "They're on the leading edge of the resurgence and revitalized interest in old-time music"

The positive energy they exude...that unknown dimension...is a large part of what draws folks in and keeps them coming back. The “effortlessly cheerful energy” they put into their music reflects back to the fans who take with them feelings of happiness, positivism, and inspiration.

Invitations to perform have come from festivals- including High Sierra Music Festival, NW String Summit and Wintergrass,from concert series, and from national touring bands like Hot Buttered Rum and Clumsy Lovers. In 2005, Deadwood Revival won the BAND COMPETITION at NW String Summit.

Whether performing for a handful or for a thousand, the "honest and unpretentious" music of Deadwood Revival lingers with listeners long after the lights come up.
