Rio & The Rockabilly Revival - Testify (2015)

Rio and the Rockabilly Revival's third album, "Testify," is a genre-stretching entry into the roots rock idiom. Their blend of contemporary and old school influences show that this isn't your granpappy's Rockabilly. Rio Scafone takes no prisoners and makes no excuses, serving up track after track of "Church of Rock N Roll" fire, free of autotune, gimmick or over-production. This is real, authentic, raw Rock N Roll to feed your soul. Their music speaks to avid roots music fans and modern music lovers alike.

Rio and the Rockabilly Revival's recent accolades include winning a Detroit Music Award for Outstanding Americana Artist/Group in the 2015 Detroit Music Awards, as well as listed in the Top 100 Live Unsigned Artists to Watch by the iconic Music Connection out of Los Angeles, CA. They were voted Best Original Band by Hour Detroit Magazine's readers.

"Rio is the genuine article in the world of rockabilly, as is her claim to rockabilly heritage. The niece of Rockabilly legend and pioneer Jack Scott, she is steeped in the traditions of the genre. However, Rio brings not only the music, but an entire performance. A veteran actress of both motion picture and television, she is a consummate entertainer to the core. Precise vocal harmonies, in addition to meticulous choreography, are clear evidence of a rigorous attention to detail, and those who follow her social media feeds know her arduous rehearsal schedule...
The music of Rio and the Rockabilly Revival, is unique within the genre of rockabilly as is its broad appeal. Young people in today’s rockabilly scene can be found in the audience, right next to folks that enjoyed the music when it was new. The show is both traditional and contemporary, authentic, but definitely not “old fashioned”. The brilliant usage of traditional Southern Gospel times combined with roots rock and soul, produce an experience that is not to be missed."
