The James Thomas Revolution: Tour Blog

We're setting off on the second leg of our tour this year. Shows are lined up from Boise, Idaho down through Utah and Arizona, so Cal and east to Tennesse! See you on the road!

JTR and Stone and Water Productions teamed up to bring you a kayak film like no other. Exposing the raw beauty of Idaho's winter rivers, Mike Copeland captures the thrill of riding the waves of a different ocean!

Cameron's in Half Moon Bay was a great time, what with the stage help and the outside bus, we had a great time. Thanks to Orie and his hospitality! We'll be playing again there this summer!

After a great reception in San Francisco, the JTR is headed down to Santa Cruz for some impromptu shows. Surf town USA is gonna get a taste of the revolution!

JTR is heading down to music hub San Fransisco! Venues we'll be playing at are Hotel Utah, Missouri Lounge in Berkeley, and others around the area! Check back for dates and times!

James Thomas won second place at a regional guitar competition by Keeney Brothers in Moscow, Idaho last friday. Walking on as an alternate, James rocked his unique blues/reggae style through three rounds of competition and said "I feel like I have something no one else does, so I was very confident in my chances." James took home a Godin electric guitar valued at over $900 for his prize. Congratulations James, we'll see you next year!

The Express YourSelf Festival weekend turned out a huge crowd who were cheering and dancing from 3pm to 8pm. The sun went down but the music never stopped. We had 8 bands and there were visual artists displaying their work, and social activist speakers on stage. The weather was great and we all had a good time. Thank you all who were involved, all of you!

The best one yet! There were 4 bands, and one of them was on a national tour from Seattle! They rocked and then we went on two bands afterward. The crowd was awesome and everyone got hard into it. The bartender even came on stage to say how rad we were and I looked over, and saw what looked like a flaming marshmallow on a stick. He tipped back a shot of Wild Turkey and blew fire 6 ft out into the crowd! It was a rad night.

The Revolution has just released a brand new song titled "How Many Years"! Download it for free and share it with your friends!

Well the Revolution is hitting the road headed for sunny California! We'll keep you updated on the trip and post some photos from shows and some good waves! We're way excited to be in this new environment for inspiration for new songs! We'll see what happens!

We just added a new song to our set list! We wrote it and completed it just a few days ago! IT ROCKS! Every new song is like stepping into the dark, where each new step is a surprise once you get there. We are way excited for you all to hear it!

Very happy about this one! Our drummer originally couldnt make our show this saturday...but he finally said "Forget about studying! I want to play!" so it'll be all The Revolution playing at the Mooselodge show this weekend!

We are way stoked about this! We are lining up a show at the Hempfest in Spokane, WA! It's right there in Riverfront Park! It has been a great time in the past and this will be the best!

The Revolution will soon have it's own logo! Melissa, our bass player said to me this morning "Hey, how bout that design you made on your skateboard?" Well, we checked it out and decided it was just the right thing! Get ready for the unveiling of our NEW LOGO soon!

Last nights show turned out way rockin. Pre-Funk opened the evening up and put me in a groove mood to play! This show we debuted a new song 'What Happened to September" and it was everything I hoped it would be! To all the friends we made there, it was cool meeting ya, and I hope you keep in touch!
