The Last Revel

The Last Revel is a four-piece folk group from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Utilizing their multi-instrumental abilities, members Lee Henke, Ryan Acker, Vincenzio Donatelle and Lauren Anderson bring a full spectrum of modern Americana to life with lush arrangements of four-part vocal harmonies, acoustic guitar, upright bass, fiddle, and 5-string banjo to consistently support impassioned performances of their honest and heartfelt songwriting. Drawing influence from their salt of the earth Midwest ethos the band’s songs so naturally blend the genres of Folk, Old Time String-Band and Indie Rock to create a sound that echoes the current heartbeat of America.

Their latest release, Dovetail, highlights each member’s strength as songwriters and collaborators, and further solidifies their musical foundation after a hiatus beginning in 2019. Self-produced and released under the bands own label, Sheep Sheep Records, Dovetail is the band’s fifth studio album.

Elias Hix

“I’m Elias Hix. I grew up on a cattle farm in South Carolina. I’m shaped by the south’s summers of thick heat and hazy air that are soon followed by the cold of harsh and dry winters that leave the sky empty and hollow. Days from those seasons are trapped in my head, with places I will not go anymore, and names that will not leave my lips.

When I was 15, I wrote a song called “Thinner” — two years later I wrote and produced an album with that song as its title. This album and the projects that followed are the products of the things I do not speak of anymore and the things I’ve grown too scared to say. So I write them in music, disguised within the imagery and metaphors of the place I grew up in. This is the honest truth of my music and I hope it can help you the way it is helping me. Thank you.”
