Watch The Revivalists Jam With Marcus King & Robert Randolph June 26, 2017 15:07

 

If you even casually keep up with the jam/festival scene, you already know that The Revivalists and The Marcus King Band are arguably the two hottest bands out there. Both bands have gained major national momentum in recent years, and neither seems to be slowing down anytime soon. On Friday night, the two bands, as well as Robert Randolph & The Familly Band, performed at Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn at White River State Park in Indianapolis for this year’s Rock on the River. During The Revivalists' headlining set, Marcus King joined the New Orleans rockers for a special take on "Soul Fight," while Randolph sat in during the band's hit song "Wish I Knew You." Both guest performances can be watched in full below via YouTube users prettydeadgirlx and Nick Blainey.
