Description
Brooklyn Del & The Revelators are a Portland, Oregon–based Americana
outfit carving out their own stretch of desert-country - music that feels
sunburned, restless, and cinematic. Rooted in classic country and desert
rock, but shaped by a modern, roots-forward edge, the band emerged fully
formed with their debut EP, Lights and Last Resorts, a four-song introduction
that immediately announced a new voice in the Northwest scene.
The band lineup brings together deep experience and intuitive chemistry:
Brooklyn Del on vocals and guitar, Matt Stark on guitar and backing vocals,
D. Rives Curtright on guitar and vocals, Jim Castle on bass, and Troi Richards
on drums. Featuring members of Power of County and Forest Grove Outlaws,
The Revelators bring decades of collective feel to Del’s stark, evocative
songwriting.
Musically, Lights and Last Resorts is full of subtle highlights that reward close
listening. "One of my favorite parts of the album is the instrumental sections
in 'Last Resort,'" Del says, singling out Richards’ dynamic drumming. She
also points to "the Baritone Saxophone in 'In My Way' by Rives Curtright - it
was the icing on the cake."
Del sees the band as part of a broader resurgence in roots-based music. "I
think now is a better time than any to make country music," she says. "It
helps us create something that appeals to all kinds of people, and feels new."
That openness carries into their live shows, where the songs continue to
evolve. "The music sounds similar live if not better; Live music gives you a lot
of room to experiment with something once you’re happy with how it
sounds."
That next chapter is already underway. The band is currently in the studio
recording their debut full-length album, expected in late 2026 or early 2027.
"This record is a combination of songs written by Brooklyn Del, Rives
Curtright, and Matt Stark," Del reveals. "It’s heavy-hitting, tough feeling, and
will get your feet moving. If you want a sneak peek you can definitely catch
one at a live show." For Brooklyn Del & The Revelators, the road stretches on
- dusty, loud, and wide open.
