Recalling their early days, Ravenhill front-man and founder Josh Clifton remembers
thinking "I don't think anyone will wanna hear a while guy sing soul."
Relocating to Nashville to explore the music scene, this Illinois born band fit right in
the their gutsy, soul rock vibe.
Made up of members Clifton, Taylor Chance, Brady Clifton, Mike Bay, Dane Johns,
Kyle Hassenfratz, Ravenhill is a team effort.
Clifton crafts shells of possible songs, throwing it around the band until they are
satisfied with it's content and meaning consisting of "whatever we believe, are going
through, or are terrified of."
Dedication is the basis of Ravenhill, Clifton remarking that when he was starting out
he "wanted friends who believed in Ravenhill, and the songs…" and were
enthusiastic about their sound.
This energy carries through into their live shows where grit and feeling are
palpable, infecting the crowd and creating fans.
Their most recent album, Soul, was released back in March through record label
Slospeak, propelling the band forwards as they further establish their sound and
lyrical style.
Clifton looks forward to the band down the road with the possibility of adding a
horn section and back-up singers to create the ultimate experience.
Check out their local shows at the Crying Wolf on October 22nd, then The End
sometime early November.
Listen to their jams on iTunes, YouTube, FaceBook, Spotify, and ravenhillband.com.
