Elephant Revival To Issue Live CD & DVD Sands Of Now

Last summer Colorado folk band Elephant Revival made their triumphant debut at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and played a sold-out two-night stand at the venerable Boulder Theater. Elephant Revival hired a film crew to record those homecoming shows and they will release the resulting product -the CD/DVD Sands of Now -July 24 on United Interests/Itz Evolving Records.

Sands Of Now is a 19-song collection, which debuts eight new songs, and is said to “fully captures the joy-in-motion of a quintet known for their musical depth and kinetic energy onstage.” The collection contains fan favorites that combined with the debuts reveal the band’s growth over their nine years together. The DVD finale, “Rogue River,” conveys the excitement of Elephant Revival’s first appearance at Colorado’s legendary Red Rocks.

The new CD/DVD features Bonnie Paine on vocals, washboard, djembe, stomp box and musical saw; Bridget Law on fiddle and vocals; Dango Rose on bass, mandolin, banjo and vocals; Daniel Rodriguez on guitar, banjo, bass and vocals; and Sage Cook on electric banjo and vocals. Acrobatic dancers Ryan Hamity and Cassie Drew of Fractal Tribe join Elephant Revival onstage for “Ancient Sea” and “Echo’s Rose”, helping the band fulfill their goal of “closing the gap of separation between us through song and dance.”

The band will celebrate their 10-year anniversary in 2016 with a new studio album.
