PRESS: I didn't book The Waldemere Revival because they're always professional. I didn't book them because they're some of the nicest guys around. I booked them simply because they are good. Maybe "good" is an understatement. The Waldemere Revival is PHENOMENAL. Every time I see them perform a show it's always better and different then the last. To me, that shows their true talent. If you haven't got the chance to see TWR play, then you need to check their schedule quick! They're one of the fast growing Indy rock bands around. I've watched TWR as their schedule consistently fills up every month, and to me that means people want this band.

They came to The Earthouse with a new confidence, and they delivered their best show as of yet. I don't know if their boost came from being signed, or from playing together every weekend and gaining that knowledge. However it came doesn't matter. TWR came out strong and willing to show this crowd who they are. Harmonica player Corey Flick sent me into a flashback as he sent psychedelic spaciness through his new equipment. The sounds he created were almost that of an electronica keyboardist. Amazing is simply what it was. Lead singer and acoustic guitar player Steve picked away the night in a way that would make Billy Nershi (String Cheese Incident acoustic guitarist) turn his head to see who was playing that well. When Steve sings, to me it seems as if he's got years of emotion to express through their songs. Full, clear, and strong lyrics that make you think about your own life. Lead guitarist John Young always puts me in a trance. He is the type of player I could see touring on his own, and making it. He plays in an almost Clapton-like appeal as he ripped into the space that Corey had created with his Harmonica. Although I didn't catch their new bassist's name, I could tell that he was an exact fit for Waldemere. He went through each song as if he'd been playing with them all along. Holding down the other half of the rhythm section drummer Justin Atkins tapped away perfectly. As always, Justin didn't miss a beat, and like always performed a perfect show. All in all, Waldemere (like Goliathon) never ceases to amaze me. Each and every show I see, they get tighter and tighter. They're becoming something, and they're becoming it quick.

"A truely amazing transformation. The Waldemere Revival is a new age, acoustic, raw talented band that takes life's mishaps and misfortunes and turns those into seemingly impossible dreams. We are heading in a new direction, a simple yet elegant sound that transfixes a persons dreams into reality. A magnificent presentation of soul searching and self actualization." - A.J.

I went to the pit area just as Waldemere were starting. Right away I was hit with an awesome sound that I'd never heard before. This band utilizes a distorted harmonica to create a sound that is like a creepy cosmic wind. The man behind the harmonica, Corey Flick, definitely stood out to me as the spectrum of the music that I enjoyed the most. I would get lost in his amorphous howling and feel my face start to drift away..........
