According to Pop & Hiss, a Los Angeles Times blog, Bob Dylan will be joined on stage by The Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons to perform a song from each of their catalogs in “a special salute to acoustic music” at this year’s Grammy’s. The bands have their similarities in both style and sound. Additionally, Dylan, considered the pioneer of folk rock, was a huge influence on both bands and I am sure that this will be career highlights for them. .

They will start out playing Mumford & Sons’ “The Cave” and then follow it up with The Avett Brothers’ “Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise” and will end with a Dylan song but they haven’t announced which one yet. What Dylan song do you think that the three will decide to play together? There are quite a few to pick from so the odds aren’t in anyone’s favor but I have the feeling that they will be playing one of his classics like “Tangled Up in Blue” or “Like a Rolling Stone” because I just don’t see them getting too crazy on stage since Dylan is almost ten years away from becoming an octogenarian.

I wish they would toss Neil Young up in the mix to make it one of the best musical suites to ever play at the Grammy’s.

Holy Ghost Tent Revival is folk rock band out of Greensboro, NC that I have had the opportunity to see live on a couple of occasions. I say folk rock because that is the closest thing that I can think of to describe them. They blend about every genre into their music hitting blues, rock, soul, punk, bluegrass, Americana, big band, country and ragtime plus a good amount of hooting & hollering and a lot of vocal harmonizing from the entire band to create something extremely special. Their music is both toe-tapping and foot-stomping music that makes for one hell of a good time to listen to and see live.

Holy Ghost Tent Revival consists of Stephen Murray, Matt Martin, Patrick Leslie, Hank Widmer, Ross Montsinger, Kevin Williams and Charlie Humphrey who formed the band while attending college in Greensboro in 2007. They have touring the eastern United States from Michigan to Florida pretty heavily since the band’s inception and have gained a strong fan base. Holy Ghost Tent Revival’s gives off an old-timey feel when you first see the band in their usual attire of vests, button-down dress shirts and their tie but don’t let the old-timey look fool you because the energy that they put off completely rocks every venue that they play at.

Holy Ghost Tent Revival puts everything that they have into their music making every show an experience worth seeing. I strongly suggest checking these guys out live if you are anywhere near one of their shows because its a great time and I don’t think you will be disappointed.
