HOLY GHOST TENT REVIVAL - Needing You
My affinity for rollicking, rootsy, southern folkiness is no secret, so imagine my delight when I was introduced to Holy Ghost Tent Revival last year. On a weekend trip to Greensboro, NC to visit my friends in House of Fools, I watched in awe as members of HGTR laid down tracks at the Fools home studio. It was an explosion of ragtime, jazz, blues, country, and rock. Brassy and encompassing, fast paced and melodic; I was surprised that something this loud and impassioned hadn’t yet reached my ears.
Holy Ghost Tent Revival maintains a hefty tour schedule, and their buzz is growing as the band regularly packs houses along the mid-atlantic. Be sure to catch one of their high energy shows when they’re in your area. Probably at your local speakeasy.
