Like a whiskey soaked, Southern revival tent, Rio and the Rockabilly Revival serves up spitfire Rockabilly where angels fall and sinners are welcome. Make no mistake, this is not your daddy’s Doo-Wop. It’s pure Rock & Roll with all the sin, sweat and swagger allowed by law.

The Revival draws heavily from the genres that came together in the early 50’s to form what would be first known as Rockabilly and later known as Rock and Roll: Jump Blues, Gospel, Hillbilly Swing and Rhythm and Blues. These genres came together with a “rock beat” and Rockabilly was born. Later it would be known as Rock & Roll. Blending these old school sounds with a fresh, modern, aesthetic has proven to be a winning combination for Rio and the Rockabilly Revival, appealing to traditional purists and modern music lovers alike.

With 100+ collective years of prof. experience between them, Rio & the Rockabilly Revival serve up blistering, spitfire rockabilly, circa 1950's, fueled by Detroit diesel in their veins. RRR's live show is electrifying. Reviewers and fans alike testifying to feeling the "Rock & Roll Holy Ghost" in the room. Rio, niece of rockabilly legend Jack Scott, lives up to her rockabilly royalty roots.

Blending these old school sounds with a fresh, modern, aesthetic has proven to be a winning combination for Rio and the Rockabilly Revival, appealing to traditional purists and modern music lovers alike.

Their bombastic stage show whips audiences into a frenzy, featuring Rio Scafone in full-tilt, Bettie-Page-on-a-rampage persona, sporting her trademark pinup dress and worn, scrappy boots. Back it up with tight harmonies, top notch musicians and high-energy choreography and you’ve got yourself a Revival show. Their concerts have been hailed as the “Church of Rock & Roll” playing off themes of sin and redemption, driving fans to their knees, chanting, “Save My Soul!”

Front woman, Rio Scafone ignites the stage with a raw audacity that critics describe as “exhilarating” and “primal. With the slow-burn swagger of a young Elvis Presley and the wailing abandon of Little Richard, Rio is known for her larger-than-life stage presence and big soulful voice. She’s been described as “Big Mama Thornton meets Little Richard meets Freddie Mercury.”
