South African soul. Irish rhythm. Reggae fire.
REVALUTE: South African Irish Reggae Band
South African soul. Irish rhythm. Reggae fire.
Catch REVALUTE live in action!
Born from jam sessions in Cape Town, South Africa and a pint (OR TWO!) in Dublin, Ireland, REVALUTE was formed blending South African soul, Irish rhythm, and Reggae fire into a sound that’s as global as it is grounded.
Our sets fuse original grooves with crowd-moving covers — from Bob Marley to The Pogues, Jaluka to UB40. Whether it’s a soulful ballad or a reggae anthem, we make it our own.
REVALUTE is more than a band — it’s a movement of rhythm, roots, and raw energy.
The REVALUTE band name brings the spirit of REggae (and more), REVALation (enjoyment), LUTE (as in music, flute and anything instrumental that is light and inspiring and that will ensue you enjoy listening and singing along) and VALUE to any occasion!

Bob Marley
Johnny Clegg

Sophia George
Shane McGowan

Moremi is the heart and soul of REVALUTE, as a multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter who aims to spread joy and create community through music. As a musician and dancer since the age of two, her passion for performance has allowed her to engage in a variety of opportunities across disciplines. This includes being lead alto in the UCSB Jazz Ensemble, ripping saxophone solos in multiple Santa Barbara-based funk bands, playing for benefit concerts in the South Bay, writing and recording soundtracks for student films, and much more!
With experience in jazz, funk, classical, blues, pop, Irish music, indie/alternative music, and rock ‘n roll, Moremi uses her creativity and unique sound on the saxophone, flute, accordion, guitar, piano/keyboards to express herself and to connect with the listener. She is constantly inspired by her family, friends, and life experiences, and works to bring people together.
Her bright, free, spirit is a pleasure for all around her and makes every practice, gig and encounter fun and memorable.
Here's some more titbits about her:
Moremi is also available for solo gigs and working with other bands. She is currently the lead flute and saxophonist in the band, The Get Down. You can find her songs on Soundcloud... "Kinda Crazy", ... brilliant, ... we know! She also gives lessons on all these instruments if you are lucky enough to get on her schedule! You can contact her directly here.
Dale started REVALUTE out of a passion for high tempo catchy tunes that he loved but found that cover bands hardly ever played. His vision for REVALUTE is truly unique as the band delivers a mix of tunes that are so enjoyable your patrons will be asking for more!
Dale's passion for music started at an early age, introduced by his dad, a pianist/organist/accordionist, who had a voluminous vinyl collection of musicals and hits from the then popular world recording artists. He remembers how as a teenager he would then choregraph live shows in his family's living room.
Dale's passion for Reggae comes from his African roots, and he has an Irish soul imputed by his lovely wife who has Irish roots and gained through their travel in Ireland.
Dale's career took him to professional services but he now follows his passion with focus only on REVALUTE. His worldly experience brings a mixture of fresh ideas to the music genre which we like to refer to as the REVALUTE RYTHM! Dale can be reached here.
Jessica is a vocalist and brilliant trumpeter. She has a passion for excellence and precision. She was selected as one of the Herald Trumpeters for the Los Angeles Rose Parade in her youth and marched for a few years in different marching bands that performed at the annual Drum Corp International competition, that took her travelling across the USA playing trumpet in almost every State. She has attended international trumpet conferences in Illinois and most recently at Chosen Vale in New Hampshire where she played and learned from the world's best in the field.
When she is not playing trumpet, her beautiful singing voice can be heard as she lays down some sweet sounds. She gives back by offering trumpet lessons in Southern California. Jessi can can be contacted directly here.
Benji brings his passion for music as he strums out tunes on his ukelele and provides vocals on some of the more "punk" hits. We love having him play with us!
Pam lays down some sweet tunes on the flute. Adding whistle accompaniment when needed, but especially for those unique South African tunes. She keeps the band together like the pied piper on the flute! She also helps with bookings and band management activities.
Profiles of our Drummer, Guitarist (lead) and Bass players will be updated soon
