The Dustbowl Revival

Originally born from a Craigslist ad placed by founder Zach Lupetin, this Venice-based collective's tunes bring to mind Bob Wills, Bob Dylan and even the more contemporary Old Crow Medicine Show. Their energetic and engaging live sets are like a ride through the history of American folk music. It's hard not to be in a good mood while taking in the "new-wave jug-band" and its delightful cacophony of fiddles, ukeleles, tubas, washboards and kazoos. They’re playing a special show at the Troubadour to mark the release of their new album, Is It You, Is It Me.
