KAREN JONAS

Album Release Show: The Rise and Fall of American Kitsch

Americana/Alt-Country songwriter Karen Jonas is a powerhouse creator and storyteller with a voice to match. Ambitious, smart, and magnetically retro, her 2024 album The Rise and Fall of American Kitsch (9 Aug) will charm you with dazzlingly quirky storytelling, stellar performances, and an adventurous Americana soundscape.

Karen's 2023 album The Restless is “a stunning collection of dreamy and dark alt-country confessionals; a deep exploration of love and vulnerability from one of Americana’s most hopeless romantics” (Holler.Country). With “vocals that twist and snap with tension and emotional depth” and a dynamic band, it’s no wonder Karen is turning heads all around the world (Country Music People, U.K.).

Flanked by her longtime guitarist the inimitable Tim Bray, bassist Seth Morrissey and Seth Brown on drums, Jonas dazzles with energy that showcases their nine-year touring chemistry and the true joy of their art. Karen is a three-time Wammie (Washington Area Music) Award winner for Best Country and Americana Artist, Mid Atlantic Song Contest winner, Ameripolitan Award nominee, and official SXSW and UK Americanafest Showcasing Artist. As Parklife Mag DC put it, “the voice of country music in the DMV is a big, bright voice that belongs to Virginia native Karen Jonas.”

Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Woody Woodworth is part of the newest revival of country music in Virginia. Established in 2016, Woody's band - the Piners - are named for the bygone expression to Pine: a deep longing for something or someone. Influenced by Virginia’s deep musical history and Appalachian culture, Woody fuses storytelling with country, bluegrass, and rock and roll to create a sound that can be described as Appalachian alt-country with a steady shot of southern rock .

With only 85 seats, shows at Révéler are intimate and immersive. A romantic venue with exquisite sound and dreamy vibes, Révéler offers a unique selection of cocktails, wines, beers, bubbles, and non-alcoholic beverages. Our kitchen delivers small plates crafted with care.
