“One of the best and catchiest radio singles of the year…a sublime pop gem…if there is any justice, it should be a Grammy contender in 2018…” – Forbes
 
“Breakout rockers…” – Entertainment Weekly
 
“Nostalgic soft rock ‘n’ roll.” – Buzzfeed
 
“The dynamic New Orleans rockers are among the summer’s hardest-working bands…” – USA Today
 
“The sweet, wistful “Wish I Knew You” encapsulates the band’s varied strengths with brittle stabs of funk guitar, dub-influenced keys and colorful splashes of brass” – Rolling Stone


The Revivalists are set to perform their massive hit single “Wish I Knew You” (PRESS HERE) on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, July 19th. Be sure to tune in to ABC at 11:35/10:35c!

 

After claiming the #1 spot at Adult Alternative Radio last Fall, the chart-topping single went on to reach #1 at Alternative Radio this past spring, and even set a new record for most single-week spins ever at the format. “Wish I Knew You” continues its unstoppable climb breaking now at Hot AC and landing major Top 40 adds such as Los Angeles‘ KIIS-FM. First released in July 2015, the enduring tune has had a remarkable trajectory and a staying power rarely seen in music today. Featuring wistful lyrics, front man David Shaw‘s unmistakable soulful rasp, an indelible melody and a mix of bluesy rock and Southern R&B swagger not usually heard at the Alternative format, “Wish I Knew You” has earned the New Orleans seven-piece multiple national TV appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, TODAY and Conan.

Elsewhere on TV this summer, The Revivalists‘ are kicking off the new season of the music performance series Infinity Hall Live with an hour-long special airing on public television throughout the summer. Check your local listings for an air date near you.
