Musicians perform at the 2010 Red River Revel. The Revel is an eight day festival featuring 100+ art vendors, dozens of live bands, and food booths galore.
More details of the 2011 Red River Revel live music schedule will be announced soon, but a handful of confirmed performers have been announced by Revel organizers. The opening night performance on Saturday, October 1 will feature Better Than Ezra with special guests Super Water Sympathy. Other highlights include country-rock bad boy Colt Ford, R&B crooners The S.O.S. Band, Whiskey Myers with the Wes Jeans Band, Christian rockers Red, Civil Twilight, and many more. The line-up on Sunday, October 2 will focus exclusively on bluegrass music, combining well-known touring acts with local bluegrass performers.
The Revel staff is currently preparing a press release with a more complete list of performers. The 2011 Red River Revel will be held October 1-8, 2011 in downtown Shreveport's Festival Plaza. The Revel has also just created a Twitter profile - if you're a social media user, you may want to follow them for updates directly from the source.
What are you looking forward to at the Revel? We're fans of the sometimes-outrageous food (fried Snickers bars?), the live music, and the art vendors. Mostly, we're fans of seeing huge crowds enjoying themselves on the downtown Shreveport riverfront.
