Band History

Though his roots are in the folk music stylings of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and early Robert Earl Keen, Jayson Bales is all rock-n-roll, thanks to the collaborative efforts of his main recording and touring band, The Revival. Made up of Trae Doss (bass & vocals), Greg Fontanillas (drums), and Bruce Johnson (guitars), together Jayson Bales & The Revival delivering sonically powerful music with a message. With national songwriting awards and numerous nominations and awards as the best-roots rock and live act in Dallas, their show is not to be missed.

Jayson has played with artists including Ian McClagan of The Faces and The Rolling Stones, Robert Earl Keen, Charlie Robison, Bearnie Leadon of The Eagles, Pat Green, Kinky Friedman, Cross Canadien Ragweed, David Amram (conductor of The Brooklyn Philarmonic), Slaid Cleaves and Jack Ingram.
