We all know Lee® denim as the first creator overalls and overall quality denim in jeanswear for men, women, and children alike. This is the first year that consumer’s and music lovers will hear of Lee® teaming up with Chuck Ragan, creator of the Revival Tour and member of former punk band Hot Water Act, as it hits the UK and Europe.
Inspired by a musical idea in 2005, The Revival Tour was brought to reality in 2008. This tour brings the latest folk rock artists and their fans together for 10- jam filled days. Since 2008, past festival artists include Against Me!’s Tom Gabel, Avail’s Tim Barry, and Lucero’s Ben Nichols. All artists are to perform acoustically in a smaller, friendly environment, ensuring that the shows are in keeping with the original folk spirit.
Starting September 27th and running through to October 7th, join Chuck Ragan (performing solo) and artists Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem, Dan Andriano from Alkaline Trio and Dave Hause from The Loved Ones as they tour outside the States for the first year since 2008. In addition, Jon Gaunt will be on the ?ddle and Joe Ginsberg on upright bass will fill out the performances.
“We live and breathe (this) music and I think it’s just a natural instinct for people who believe and live music to want to share that with other like-minded musicians,” says Ragan.
