The Stormy Monday Blues Revue is an interactive performance series that celebrates the power of the blues - past, present, and future.

Experience blues music performed by a wide range of artists in an intimate setting. Each show includes a segment where musicians in the audience will have a chance to join the featured performer on stage for a jam session. Our spotlight performer is Markiss Blowfish, a powerhouse blues vocalist, harmonica-player, and songwriter.

This is the story of a US Army Veteran who sings the Blues. Mark A. Branch - A.K.A. Markiss Blowfish - was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y,, served in the Army, a member of the McGuire VA Veteran Band, a Richmond City School bus driver and is the father of three children. In 1991, Mr. Branch moved to Richmond. He began playing blues harmonica and songwriting at the age of forty. To facilitate his songwriting, he picked up guitar and has been busking in Shockoe Slip and at the South the James Farmers Market on Saturday morning since he began. His natural talent for songwriting was recognized by the Virginia Organization of Composers and Lyricists, which won him awards of songwriter of the year and song of the year.

He is a Buffalo Soldier Player of Country Blues.

Set 1: Markiss performs a set of his favorite tunes.

Set 2: After another shorter set, Markiss hosts a mini jam session with musicians in the audience. This is your chance to play a song or two with the band. Bring your own instrument or borrow one of ours. The stage (with a great collection of amps and instruments) transforms briefly into a living room at Weldon's house. Sign up and further details at the club.

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.
