The Revivalists left Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on a high note on Monday, delivering a highlight-filled show featuring four new songs and a sit-in from Roosevelt Collier. The concert at the Mother Church of Country Music was the New Orleans roots rock band’s second in as many days.
Following an opening run of “Oh No”, “Change”, and “Bulletproof”, the first debut came with a song called “Long Con”. Sprinkled in among other fan favorites like “Monster”, “Keep Going”, and “Otherside of Paradise”, the David Shaw-led eight-piece dropped another newbie with “Alive”. Toward the end of the main set, The Revivalists delivered another debut with “Good Ol Days” prior to “Got Love” and the closing “Celebration”.
Taking the hallowed stage once again, the band kicked off what would prove a four-song encore with “Gold to Glass” followed by “Zombie”. Sean Johnson then emerged to lend the band a hand on the final debut of the evening, “Kid”, before celebrated pedal steel guitarist and frequent Revivalists collaborator Roosevelt Collier jumped in on lap steel to close the run with the band’s best-known song, “Wish I Knew You”.

The Revivalists have not released an album of new, original material since 2018’s Take Good Care, though it now appears another may be on the way.
