About Kevin Purcell

Kevin Purcell has always been a force of nature in the world of blues and roots music. With Rose Hill Revival, he turns his undeniable talent and passion toward honoring one of the greatest bands of all time—the Allman Brothers. This isn’t just a tribute; it’s a resurrection of the soul, fire, and innovation that defined the Allman Brothers’ legacy.

Rose Hill Revival offers two distinct experiences for its fans. For purists, there’s the “Pure Allman Brothers” show—a faithful, electrifying journey through the band’s timeless catalog, from the searing slide guitar of “Statesboro Blues” to the transcendent improvisation of “Whipping Post.” For those craving a broader southern flavor, the “Southern Rock Hybrid” show blends Allman Brothers classics with the fiery sounds of southern rock legends like Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band, and more.

At the heart of it all is Kevin Purcell, a captivating frontman with a voice that roars like a Harley on an open highway and a harmonica that wails with soul and grit. Drawing on his deep love for Chicago blues and southern roots, Kevin leads a powerhouse band of award-winning musicians who bring the spirit of Duane and Gregg Allman to life with reverence and authenticity.

The band doesn’t just play the music—they embody it. From the intricate twin guitar harmonies to the thunderous dual drumming and soulful Hammond organ swells, Rose Hill Revival captures every nuance of the Allman Brothers’ groundbreaking sound. Yet, they also infuse it with their own energy and flair, creating performances that feel both nostalgic and fresh.

Kevin Purcell’s journey to Rose Hill Revival began after a fateful performance at the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Arkansas, where he found himself playing just before the legendary Gregg Allman. Inspired by that moment and the music that had shaped his career, Purcell assembled a dream team of musicians to celebrate the Allmans’ legacy.

Over the years, Rose Hill Revival has become a must-see, bringing audiences to their feet with showmanship, passion, and an undeniable connection to the music. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the Allman Brothers or a newcomer to southern rock, their shows offer something special—moments of pure magic where the music, the band, and the audience unite.

Kevin Purcell and Rose Hill Revival don’t just play the music of the Allman Brothers—they honor it, elevate it, and ensure that its legacy continues to shine. From “Midnight Rider” to “Ramblin’ Man” to the deep cuts that true fans crave, Rose Hill Revival is the ultimate Allman Brothers experience. Come feel the soul, the power, and the Southern charm that only Kevin Purcell and his band can deliver.
