From the budding music scene of the Upper Midwest comes the cutting edge Front Porch Americana soundscapes of The Last Revel. This powerfully talented trio of multi-instrumentalists from Minneapolis, Minnesota so naturally blends the genres of Folk, Rockabilly, Old Time String-Band and Rock to create a sound that is as equally original as it is timeless.

The Last Revel trio utilizes their multi-instrumental abilities to bring the acoustic guitar, upright bass, fiddle, 5-string banjo, harmonica, kick drum and three-part vocal harmonies together to consistently deliver "Bombastic live performances," as well as delicate and haunting folk ballads.
Garnishing the attention of Minnesota Public Radio, 89.3 - The Current, and PBS Minnesota Original, TLR prides themselves on a foundation of solid songwriting as the ultimate goal of their musicality. Paired with formidable instrumental chops, the trio has had the privilege of sharing stages with Trampled by Turtles, Pert Near Sandstone, Charlie Parr, Turnpike Troubadours, The Charlie Daniels Band, and Horseshoes & Hand Grenades. A diverse and dynamic festival resume has helped bring TLR to stages and events such as Red Ants Pants Music Festival, Beartrap Summer Festival, Sioux Falls Jazz Festival, Boats & Bluegrass Festival, First Avenue, The Meyer Theatre, Turner Hall and many more.

With their second, self titled, album released in May of 2015, The Last Revel further demonstrates their ability to create rich and delicately textured recorded material with a modern "tip of the hat" to the storied history of American folk music.
