Album Notes

“I’m trying to make people laugh, cry, think, love, whatever. As long as people feel something then I think I’ve done my job”

A curious musical duality exists in the young artist Reeve Carney. At face value, his personality exudes a childlike wonder – personal, sincere, and almost polite. But when the music starts and Reeve digs in, his confident, informed musicianship and deeply soulful vocals command the stage with undeniable strength and passion.

With unassuming grace, Reeve’s music conveys an air of sophistication and worldliness beyond his years. His lyrics evoke a sense of familiarity, romance, and humor, while the music itself takes its inspiration from just about every page of the 20th century American songbook. In a given night with Reeve Carney & The Revolving Band, one can hear everything from straight-forward blues- and roots-rock, to full-bodied gospel or 30’s-era vaudeville swing.
