“It’s been a long time coming, and I’ve missed all of their faces, all of their smiles, and all of the pictures that we get to take together when I’m coming from the stage, coming from my mom’s house, or whatever. I’ve really just truly missed all of that and I just can’t wait to see everybody, and be wrapped in the energy of Hamilton, and the beautiful thing that we’ve all created together,” said David Shaw, frontman of The Revivalists.
David Shaw’s Big River Get Down will be May 20 and May 21 at RiversEdge Amphitheater. On Friday, doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and the music will begin at 6:30 p.m. On Saturday, doors will open at 2:30 p.m. and the music will start at 3:30 p.m.
