FOLK SOUL REVIVAL, GREG PAYNE AND THE PIEDMONT BOYS -RESCHEDULED FROM 1/23- ALL TICKETS WILL BE HONORED

Folk Soul Revival is a harmony drenched, boot stomping, rowdy, rootsy Americana band from the Appalachian mountain region of Virginia/Tennessee. Their unique blend of country, roots and rock has earned them an eclectic group of fans, lovingly referred to as The Congregation. The harmony drenched music is rowdy and energetic coupled with heartfelt lyrics about love, loss and life in general. Coming together in 2008, the band is currently working on its fourth studio album after an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign. Their third album, Prompting the Dapperness, earned them the #10 spot on Billboard's Heatseeker Chart (South Atlantic Division), as well as reaching #12 on the iTunes Country Charts the week of its release. Prompting the Dapperness was completely fan funded, as is their current album which promises to be an exciting new installment in the FSR story.

FSR has just released their third album 'Prompting The Dapperness.'The completely fan funded release (following a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign) returns to the formula that has continued to make the band so endearing- strong songwriting, sing along melodies, impassioned vocals and most of all honest music that resonates deep within the listener. There's a reason the band has such a loyal fan base ('The Congregation') and garners accolades wherever they travel.

In 2010, the band's second album 'Words Off the Tongue' was ranked among the Top 15 Albums of the Year by No Depression magazine. 'Prompting the Dapperness' reached #12 on the iTunes country charts and #99 on the overall charts on the day of its release, and has already charted on BillboardMagazine's Heatseekers Charts at #10 (South Atlantic division.)

In 2011, the Virginia Tourism Board awarded FSR the Virginia Band of the Year and in 2012 readers of Virginia Living Magazine named the band among the Top Three bands in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
