FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Folk Family Revival to release\u00a0Water Walker<\/i>\u00a0on April 7th<\/strong><\/p>\n

Magnolia, TX-based Americana quartet Folk Family Revival is set to release its sophomore album,\u00a0Water Walker<\/i>, on April 7, 2015, via Nashville label Rock Ridge Music (with distribution through ADA).\u00a0 Armed with a sound that mixes the rootsy stomp of the Southern states with the trippy swoon of the West Coast, Folk Family Revival make music for rock clubs and rodeos, dive bars and honky-tonks, or campfires and cantinas. A throwback to a time when Southern rock and psychedelic music dominated the airwaves, they may be best described as a psychedelic folk-country rock and roll band.<\/p>\n

Starting in February, in support of the new album\u2019s first single, \u201cIf It Don\u2019t Kill You,\u201d Folk Family Revival will be conducting a two-and-a-half month radio tour visiting stations across the Southwest.\u00a0 The band will also be touring and playing concert venues extensively in the Southwest this spring to promote the new album.\u00a0 Tour dates will be forthcoming as they are confirmed.<\/p>\n

When it came time to record\u00a0Water Walker<\/i>, Folk Family Revival decided to team up again with Jeffrey Armstreet, the same producer who helped them kick off their career with 2011\u2019s\u00a0Unfolding<\/i>. The pace inside the studio was mostly laid-back. Whenever the guys were in Magnolia, they were usually working with Armstreet, slowly piecing together a collection of poetic songs ranging in topics from politics, faith, power, love, and the modern world. They\u2019d start by tracking the songs live, capturing the groove and spontaneity of their live shows.<\/p>\n

Water Walker<\/i>\u00a0includes 12 songs that were weaned and whittled on the road, where the band of brothers \u2014 featuring Mason, Barrett and Lincoln Lankford, along with family friend Caleb Pace \u2014 built up their audience one gig at a time.\u00a0 After releasing\u00a0Unfolding<\/i>, the guys hit the Texas circuit hard, opening shows for legends like Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Wanda Jackson. At times called a country band, the young group used the label as motivation to push their boundaries and develop a diverse yet distinctive set. Soon their sound was reflective of a variety of genres. Some nights they\u2019d have a blues rock feel and others an Americana or folk vibe. This wide-ranging experimentation and push to progress helped fuel\u00a0Water Walker<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Says Mason: \u201cWe\u2019ve met a lot of people since we released Unfolding, and that\u2019s one of the reasons\u00a0Water Walker<\/i>\u00a0sounds so different. We\u2019re better players, better communicators, better friends. We\u2019ve also learned to relax. When we did Unfolding, our producer and friends used to say we were kids who sounded like old souls. Always wanting to try new things and be willing to change, we started getting in touch with our youthful side. We\u2019re still serious and obviously a little more mature\u2026 but there\u2019s a looseness to the new record that wasn’t there before.\u201d<\/p>\n
