Founded in 2009 and established early on as a mainstay in Austin's finest venues, Austin-based band Sour Bridges has continued its rise, earning regional airplay and notable appearances at roots music festivals like UTOPiAfest, SXSW and more.

Self-dubbed browngrass, “like bluegrass, only dirtier,” Sour Bridges is a funky, rock-inspired group whose distinct sound builds from a steady drumbeat and adds layer upon layer of texture – banjo, guitar, bass, fiddle, electric guitar, keys, boots, and impressive harmonies.

I was honestly a bit wary of seeing my first Elephant Revival show sans Sage Cook. And I’m sure quite a few people felt that way. But most of me was excited to see what new journey the band was on with their new member Charlie Rose, playing a range of instruments and seamlessly adding his Rufus Wainwright-esque vocals on a number of songs. And like the lyrics above state, there’s a new life to Elephant Revival – one just as wonderful as I had hoped.

This is a band in the truest sense, with five members sharing the stage and songs that have come together as an evolving unit over four-plus years.
