Dead Root Revival is not a straight-up Blues outfit, nor are they just another Rock band. The band draws from many corners of the musical spectrum, and sometimes shift between these influences mid-song. One thing you can count on: a DRR concert is a variety of music and moods, shifts in tempo, and a sweeping use of dynamic range, resulting in a powerful concert experience. At the heart of the band, is veteran singer/songwriter/guitarist Tom Savage. Many who know Savage for his more folk-oriented solo output, are genuinely floored by the ferocity with which he attacks the strings of his signature Gibson Nighthawk. Joined by the virtuosic Tony Silvestri on keys, and anchored by the rock-solid rhythm section of Bonz Bowering (drums) and Richard Piche (bass), this is Rock and Roll of the highest order.

"Easily one of the finest jam bands we have encountered." - Great Dark Wonder

"A totally mesmerizing immersive experience. Go see these guys." - Paul Gervan​

"Dead Root Revival weave a spell. This is a collection of exceptional musicians at the top of their game. Beyond great songwriting and playing, what struck me when I saw them again last week, was the sound. Every instrument holds a perfect spot in the arrangements and there is just so much musicality to sink your teeth into. Go see them dammit, you won't be sorry! " - Stephen Stanley(singer-songwriter, founding member of Lowest of The Low)

​“Now if, like me, you are head over heels in love with the Hammond Organ, then you need to set those eyes towards the burning bliss that is The Controller’s Exam, the new record from Ontario’s DEAD ROOT REVIVAL whose combustible grooves and rhythms hark back to a golden age of music long lost to the annals of history. This record has set my soul aflame” - Motorfuzzin' Mondays

​"To describe their music as a single genre would be a gross injustice to the band. They had elements of Blues, Rock, Hard Rock, Jazz all mixed and molded into one. It was one of the most interesting acts I’ve seen in a while" -Soundcheck Entertainment​

“There certainly is a bit of timeless, bluesy, ‘70s-inspired funk in this Kingston-based band’s sound, recognizable for what it is while at the same time new and not overly steeped in nostalgia like other acts hitting your radio in the past few years.” - A Journal of Musical Things
