Brooklyn Del & The Revelators

Brooklyn Del & The Revelators are a Portland, Oregon–based Americana outfit carving out their own stretch of desert-country – music that feels sunburned, restless, and cinematic. Rooted in classic country and desert rock, but shaped by a modern, roots-forward edge, the band emerged fully formed with their debut EP, Lights and Last Resorts, a four-song introduction that immediately announced a new voice in the Northwest scene.

Front woman Brooklyn Del had already established herself as a solo artist before assembling The Revelators, but this project marked a turning point. What began as a recording experiment quickly became something bigger. “The songs on this EP were written by me as a solo artist,” Del notes, before noting how organically the band came together. “As soon as I heard how their talents complimented this music, I knew we had to do more.”

The band lineup brings together deep experience and intuitive chemistry: Brooklyn Del on vocals and guitar, Matt Stark on guitar and backing vocals, D. Rives Curtright on guitar and vocals, Jim Castle on bass, and Troi Richards on drums. Featuring members of Power of County and Forest Grove Outlaws, The Revelators bring decades of collective feel to Del’s stark, evocative songwriting. As Del puts it, “I would never play the music that I write the way that they can play it, and they wouldn’t write music the way I write it.”

That tension – between youthful perspective and seasoned musicianship powers their live shows.
