Season 6: The Last Revel is By Far NOT Gone for Good

The Load Out Music Podcast returns for our final show of Season 6! We finish up a tremendous season strong, as we are joined by Lee Henke and Vinnie Donatelle of The Last Revel. The highly acclaimed band was formed in Minneapolis in 2011 and has a tightly harmonized sound that's one part folk, one part bluegrass, and a little alt-country. The band's sound harkens to the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of what it means to pursue your dreams in real time—the foundation of which is conjured by a deep appreciation and genuine respect for the vast landscape and sometimes-harsh realities of what it means to emerge from the Midwest. After years of heavy touring and a hiatus in 2019, the group reconvened with a refreshed perspective and stronger bond to produce its latest album, Gone for Good. Reflecting on Gone for Good, the trio (the band also includes banjoist Ryan Acker) feels a real, tangible, more so positive shift in what it is The Last Revel aims to do moving forward. It's this collective realm of collaboration, all in hopes of connectivity not only between the bandmates, but also the audience itself night in and night out—from coast-to- coast and back around to Minnesota.  We dig into The Last Revel's history, the new record and more during a terrific conversation. Enjoy!
