Биография

Wherever the Folk Family Revival plays, the ground underneath seems more like a sanctuary than a stage. Sure enough, Lankford brothers, Mason and Barrett once filled a pew at a Magnolia, Texas church where the brothers became fast friends with their soon-to-be brother and lead guitarist Caleb Pace. They played rock’n’roll in church for a time until the congregation found them a little too wild for their flock. So the family dug up their roots from that place and headed home to the little shed next to their parent’s house, the blue house, where the brothers honed their craft. Beneath many hours of cosmic contemplation, tempered through hours more of pressure and concentration, the boys fashioned a sound; clear and righteous, bold and forceful, complex and simple. Their lyrics ride the narrow edge of paradox and preaching, while the rumble of the band pulses with a fury of sacred rage. They’ve come to shake the windows and rattle the walls. They will go down fighting. With their record releases thus far, 2011’s “Unfolding”; 2015’s “Water Walker”; and 2019’s “Electric Darlin”, the band of brothers’ music has evolved and left fans guessing with each rendition of the multi-genre direction they take their sound. Over the years, Folk Family Revival has opened for legends such as Willie Nelson, Lucas Nelson, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Hayes Carll, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eddie Money, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Merle Haggard, George Jones, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Suffers and Jon Foreman.
