    Jamestown Revival Interview

    1. What is the origin of your band name or the story behind it?

    Jamestown Revival came from the desire to get back to the roots of what it is that we do. Not only what we do, but where we came from. We spent a month in a cabin in the middle of a thousand acres on a ranch in Texas doing nothing but soul searching. Jamestown Revival is the culmination what we took away from that experience.

    2. Who are the artists that have influenced your music the most?

    Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater, The Band, Simon & Garfunkel… It’s an ever-changing list.

    3. Who are the artists that you listened to the most growing up?


    James Taylor, Eric Clapton and other great singer-songwriters

    4. Who has been your biggest non-musical influence?

    Louis L’Amour is a big influence on the way that I think. My father has also been a huge influence of mine

    5. What is your most memorable live performance?

    CoComing home to Magnolia, Texas to play a show after a while out on the road. Just felt amazing to be with our friends and family and I’ll never forget it.

    C

    6. What are the best and worst venues you have played?

    Not sure. I’ll be diplomatic and say that even the bad ones have a bit of charm if you look around hard enough.

    7. Do you have any crazy fan stories?

    I once saved a fan from a wild grizzly bear while juggling jars of honey and spam.

    8. What is your favorite song to play? What is a crowd favorite?

    Maybe “The Revival”? Depends on the night…

    9. What does the future hold for you/your band?

    Quite a few shows I would imagine. That and a few more guitars hanging on the wall.

    10. How often do you rehearse? What is a typical rehearsal session like?

    Zach and I get together, half-ass rehearse, and then when it comes time to get on stage, we start feeling this energy and we feed off of it.

    11. As a band how do you write together? What inspires you to write music?

    We get together and talk about whatever’s going on. Conversations between Zach and I have a way of running away with themselves. If we’re lucky, the conversations eventually turns in to a song. A lot of times, its the great outdoors that inspires our writing.

    12. Do you have any music that we haven’t heard yet? Recorded earlier or secret tracks?

    Absolutely. Who knows if it will ever see the light of day, but my guess is that it won’t. Once you’re over a song, it’s hard to find it again for it.

    13. What current artist/band would you most like to work with?

    I’m working with him. He’s my childhood friend, business partner, and the other half of Jamestown Revival

    14. What, if any, songs would you like to do a cover of?

    We cover “Satisfied Mind” sometimes and I enjoy it. The lyrics really seem to hit home with us.

    15. Have you had any major fights/disagreements as a band? Who won?

    Of course. But we work it out and move on. If you can’t do that then nobody wins.

    16. What has been your biggest challenge as a band? Did you overcome it or still working on it?

    Keeping a full touring calendar. We just parted ways with our old booking agent, and until we find the right person, we’re booking our own shows. It’s tough.

    17. Do you think that selling music online is helping or hurting the music industry? Are you concerned about people stealing music?

    I think it’s helping. People from all over the world (places that you can make it to on tour) can buy your music. What I think is hurting music the most is things like “spotify”, where the artist gets virtually nothing, and people can stream on demand whatever they want. I hate it. The more things that cut in to indie artists sales, the fewer indie artists that there will be…

    18. With so many great bands out there, why should I listen to you? What do you think makes you stand out from the crowd?

    Because our music will make you want to shake your leg… On top of that, Zach once rode a tornado from Texas to California while gargling corn mash whiskey.

    19. Outside of music related stuff, what do you do for fun?

    Hike, bike, backpack, fish, mountaneer

    20. Would you do a gig in my backyard?

    Sure

    21. Anyone you would like to thank for helping you along the way?

    Our families and our close friends for sure.



    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions and giving us insight into your band.

    Jamestown Revival The Knives and Pipes Ep

    – Jamestown Revival – The Knives & Pipes EP
    The Band members are Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance .The four songs on The Knives& Pipes EP are all you will need to hear to really love this music. Songs like “Ain’t It A Shame” and “Looking For The Right Thing” are masterpieces and that is just a little taste of the talent behind this band. Their lyrics are really the magic of the EP for me. There is a mellow feeling from these songs but the guitar really picks up the beat. “Aint It A Shame” is my favorite track… It will have you singing “ooohh ohh” all day. It is easy to see that they put everything into their music. There seems to be deep emotion in each song. So many songs have an effect on you but these songs seem to fit every mood. They can pull you up if your down or take you away to a happy place. I definitely recommend that you buy this EP and follow Jamestown Revival, a band with this much talent they will make it far!
