Since their emergence in 2009, Rival Sons have quietly reignited and recharged rock ‘n’ roll with towering vocals, uncompromising riffs, and thunderous grooves. Following the independent release of their full-length debut Before The Fire, they were handpicked to perform alongside everyone from AC/DC to Black Sabbath.
Working with longtime producer Dave Cobb, the band delivered a series of critically acclaimed albums—Pressure & Time, Head Down, Great Western Valkyrie, and Hollow Bones, as they headlined sold out shows on multiple continents.
Feral Roots broke new ground for the band. “Do Your Worst” shot to #1 on Rock Radio as their first chart-topper at the format. It also scored 40 million-plus streams and counting. They delivered an electrifying performance on The Late Late Show with James Corden and earned acclaim from Billboard, Rolling Stone, and many more. It also gathered a 2020 GRAMMY Award nomination for “Best Rock Album,” while the single “Too Bad” notched a nomination for “Best Rock Performance.”
Featuring vocalist Jay Buchanan, guitarist Scott Holiday, bassist Dave Beste and drummer Mike Miley, Rival Sons play an incendiary blend of rock and roll and blues that brings a modern edge to a classic recipe for rock.
I am very happy that I was able to be at their concert, to feel this energy and this is a perfect end of this year!Setlist for the show at Emo's Austin
Another brilliant night from Rival Sons. The crowd were on point too which always makes for a better gig. Jay's voice was awesome as always, how he keeps it up doing 5 gigs in 6 days, it's amazing. Scott, Dave, Miley and Todd were all brilliant. Each one of them is so talented in their own field and together they blow the roof off.
Awesome experience. Rocked out to a bunch of new songs and reliving nostalgia with plenty of oldies as well. Jay and the guys made a beautiful performance for even the kids in the audience. One of the best musical bands out there. Totally recommend seeing them. Whether you are a fan or looking for something to do with your evening, you will not regret the purchase.
Love, love, love Rival Sons! They are wonderful live! Love the extended versions of songs-such incredible talent! Can’t wait to see them again, this was my fourth time.
Contrary to some, Rock and Roll is not dying or in poor shape. Rival Sons made sure of that with an amazing set for a sold out crowd. It was such an epic show!
Absolutely fabulous! This band was amazing! They put on a terrific show! I bought all of their albums after watching them perform for two hours straight.
Best rock show of the year! Rival Sons rocked.
Awesome show! They just keep getting better and better and Jay’s voice is extraordinary. He has tremendous range and depth. A must see!
