Jamestown Revival's New Album SAN ISABEL Out 6/14, THIS TOO SHALL PASS Premieres At Rolling Stone
By: Tori Hartshorn Mar. 22, 2019
Jamestown Revival's highly anticipated new album, San Isabel, will be released June 14 onThirty Tigers and is now available for pre-order. In advance of the release, the band's new song, "This Too Shall Pass," premiered yesterday at Rolling Stone (listen/share HERE). Of the track, Rolling Stone praises, "...bright harmonies and loping guitar patterns...an optimistic track that splits the difference between modern-day Americana and old-school folk." Additionally, an acoustic performance video of the song, featuring band members Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance, can now be viewed/shared HERE.
Each digital album pre-order comes with an immediate download of "This Too Shall Pass" as well as album track, "Crazy World (Judgement Day)," which recently premiered at Billboard. Listen to the song HERE and watch the acoustic performance video HERE.
Co-produced by Jamestown Revival and Jamie Mefford (Nathaniel Rateliff, Gregory Alan Isakov), the album was recorded at Ward Lodge Studios overlooking the San Isabel National Forest in Buena Vista, Colorado and includes 10 new songs co-written by Clay and Chance as well as a rendition of The Mama & The Papas' 1965 classic, "California Dreamin'." In addition to Clay (vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, harmonica, banjo, steel guitar, bass), Chance (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Mefford (juno, acoustic guitar, banjo, background vocals), San Isabel also features Nick Bearden (bass guitar), Ed Benrock (drums, percussion, background vocals), Psyche Dunkhase (cello), John Gringsby (bass), Dan Reckard (wurlitzer, organ, piano, accordion) and Rachel Sliker (violin, viola).
Of the inspiration behind the album, Clay comments, "We wrote this record with sort of an overarching theme, which is cutting out the noise for a minute and maybe stepping away from social media, from the internet and from the complicated, busy nature of most of our lives-and focusing on existing for a minute. If this record inspires people to do a little bit of that, then we would be really happy with that result."
In celebration of the release, the band will embark on an extensive headline tour this spring kicking off at Houston's Heights Theatre on April 28. Additional dates include already sold-out shows at West Hollywood's Troubadour (three nights, two sold-out), Boston's Brighton Music Hall and San Francisco's Independent as well as stops at Nashville's Basement East, New York's Bowery Ballroom, Denver's Bluebird Theatre, Chicago's Lincoln Hall, Dallas' Kessler Theatre and Austin's Scoot Inn among several others. Tickets are on-sale now viahttps://jamestownrevival.com/tour/. See below for complete details.
The release of San Isabel follows a series of breakout years for Jamestown Revival. After meeting as teenagers in the small town of Magnolia, TX, Clay and Chance went on to self-release their debut album, Utah, in 2014 followed by their acclaimed 2016 album, The Education of a Wandering Man. Of the Austin-based pair, Consequence of Sound declares, "...one of the country's preeminent Americana duos," while CMT praises, "...an eclectic style of alt country for hearts who live to ramble." Building a fan base through grassroots support, Jamestown Revival has toured relentlessly over the past four years, performing at iconic venues from the Ryman Auditorium to Red Rocks Amphitheater as well as countless festivals such as Coachella, Austin City Limits, Stagecoach, Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic and more.
