[ATTENDED: December 4, 2018] Beat Root Revival
I had called BergenPAC to see if Brian Wilson would have an opening act and I was told it was Beat Root Revival. I hadn’t heard of them and they sounded interesting, so I had hoped to get there in time to see them.
I didn’t quite know where BergenPAC was, so we arrived in Englewood a little later than I intended. We also needed to grab a slice before the show–it’s awkward to have to drive through dinner. So we walked in during the duo’s first or second song.
So just who is this band (which I misunderstood as Beet Root Revival at first). They describes themselves:
Beat Root Revival are a multi-instrumentalist roots duo, combining elements of Folk, Blues, Country and Rock n Roll to create a foot stomping, melodic sound, made up of power house harmonic vocalists Andrea Magee and Ben Jones. Originally from England and Ireland, Ben Jones and Andrea Magee came to the USA 3 years ago like their ancestors before them, looking for a new life and to share their music far and wide.
And that really sums them up nicely. (more…)
