Sun 6/5 @ 8PM
Venice, California’s Dustbowl Revival reaches into the past for its eclectic mix of musical genres, but they’re not grim as the word “dustbowl” might suggest. Rather, they bring a spirited and upbeat attitude toward various styles of American roots music: early bluegrass, gospel, traditional blues, New Orleans jazz and Western swing, to name just a few. In the process, they utilize such a racket-y array of instruments including tuba, trombone, clarinet, trumpet, ukulele, mandolin, harmonica, kazoo and more.
The band was founded in 2007 by Z. Lupetin, who gradually assembled the cast of eight players that now comprise the band. Their album The Dustbowl Revival with a Lampshade On, released last year, offers a taste of what they do, but they’re known for their frenetic shows. So you might want to catch them when they perform at the Music Box Supper Club. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door.
