Paul Revelli

Born in the sixties, native San Franciscan Paul Revelli has been playing drums for most of his life. Diverse skills, a passion for playing and listening to all genres of music, and his intuition as the consummate sideman are at the heart of this drummer's beat.

As a member of the eighties rock group Red 7, Revelli recorded two albums with the band, both on MCA. The first, "Red 7", was produced by Mike Rutherford of Genesis and Mike and the Mechanics fame. A second album entitled "When The Sun Goes Down" was released, followed by extensive worldwide touring, video and film exposure ("Miami Vice" and "Manhunter") before the group disbanded in 1987.

In 1989, Revelli joined Joe Louis Walker and the Boss Talkers, recording four albums with them: "Live at Slim's, Vols. 1 and 2" (Hightone), "Blues Survivor" (Verve) and "J.L.W." (also on Verve). Additionally, he recorded a track on B.B. King's "Blues Summit" album (MCA) for Joe Louis Walker's duet with the blues legend. During his five years with the Boss Talkers, Revelli toured the United States, Canada, Europe and Scandinavia several times over. Along the way, he has shared festival stages with some of the greatest names in Blues and R & B, an incredible journey to say the least.

From there, Revelli worked with roots rock artist Chuck Prophet and can be heard on three of Prophet's releases: "Feast of Hearts" (China), "Homemade Blood" (Cooking Vinyl) and "The Hurting Business" (Hightone). Formerly of the band Green on Red, Prophet's reputation in Europe found Revelli once again playing some of the great festivals and venues there as a result.
