Soulful harmonies, infectious melodies, hypnotic electric guitar licks and an animated rhythm section underpin Rhythm X Revival as an energetic Australian rocking country blues band.
A mutual passion for songwriting banded John-Luke Shelley (lead guitar/vocals) and Johnny Tesoriero (drums/vocals) together to release their nine-track debut self-titled album in April 2018, recorded at The Teskey Brothers' studio in Melbourne, with Ben Wicks on bass. The album peaked at #4 on the Australian Blues chart and was also nominated for The Age Music Victoria Awards in the Best Blues Album.
A cohesive unit backed by Jeremy Neumann (keys) and Chris Rourke (bass/vocals), Rhythm X Revival's chemistry creates music that has inspired a global audience. Rhythm X Revival performed at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee this year.
'This fast-paced electric-drenched blues, is fun-filled, energy-packed and keeps you guessing' as quoted by The Rockpit.
