Revals is a 7-membered group from Tallinn, Estonia. Their music is an exciting mixture of American roots music – country, blues, folk and rock music. Their album "Jumal elab pealinnas", which was released in 2017 is sold out. Their next album "Kirjad ääremaalt" came out a year after and was followed by a national tour. Revals singles can be found from the leaderboards of different Estonian radio stations. Their music is about what is really happening in people's lives. Their message is often critical, sharp and even painful. That is why Revals are proud of their sold out concerts.
They stand out from other groups with their powerful vocals, polyphony and the usage of not very classical rock music instruments, such as the violin, banjo, mandolin and dobro. For this year's Augustibluus festival, Revals have put together a special programme only for that one special evening. It is a musical journey, that takes us through Estonian blues, country and folk classics in a new form. They also perform new material from their third, upcoming album. This time the 7-membered band will grow even more, since they join forces with guest musicians.
