Three Big Shows. One Weekend. Endless Energy.

This St. Patrick’s Day stretch, REVALUTE is hitting three standout venues — each with its own vibe, community, and celebration style.

🍀 Project Barley — Torrance

Friday, March 13 | 7–9 PM Project Barley is already known for its lively atmosphere, but REVALUTE’s Irish classics, reggae grooves, and South African crowd‑pleasers turn it into a full‑on celebration. Expect sing‑alongs, dancing, and the kind of energy that kicks off St. Patrick’s weekend the right way.

🔥 The Brews Hall — Torrance (Firefighter Support Event)

Saturday, March 14 | 2:30 — 6:30PM This one hits different. REVALUTE joins a community‑driven event supporting local firefighters — bringing upbeat Irish tunes, feel‑good reggae, and familiar covers to a crowd that shows up with heart. It’s music with purpose, and the band is honored to be part of it. The Brews Hall will be serving up green cheer with green beers and fabulous food! Everyone is welcome.

🍻 The Slip Bar & Eatery — Redondo Beach

Monday, March 17 | St. Patrick’s Day On the big day itself, REVALUTE takes over The Slip — a venue that knows how to throw a proper holiday party. Expect packed tables, green everything, and a setlist built for maximum fun: Irish pub favorites, reggae rhythms, South African hits, and REVALUTE originals that keep the room buzzing.

Why REVALUTE Is Becoming a St. Patrick’s Day Favorite

REVALUTE isn’t trying to reinvent Irish music — they’re celebrating it. Their Irish covers feel like a night in a Dublin pub. Their reggae tracks bring warmth and groove. Their South African songs lift the room with joy. And their originals and modern covers tie everything together with a fresh, modern edge.

It’s not a fusion. It’s not a gimmick. It’s simply great music from multiple cultures, performed with authenticity and high‑energy musicianship.

That’s why audiences across Southern California are connecting with REVALUTE — and why this St. Patrick’s Day run is shaping up to be their biggest yet.

A Band Built for Community, Celebration, and Good Vibes

Whether they’re playing for a packed bar, a family‑friendly festival, or a community fundraiser, REVALUTE brings the same commitment: Make people feel good. Make people move. Make people connect.

This St. Patrick’s Day, they’re doing exactly that — three times in one weekend.

Proudly Championing the Next Generation of Local Young Musical Talent

But there’s another side to REVALUTE that makes this band stand out in Southern California’s music scene: the talent on stage isn’t just impressive — it represents the next generation of local musicians. Aside from one seasoned veteran holding down the fort, REVALUTE is powered by young, exceptionally skilled players who are hungry for the chance to light up a stage.

Among them is Moremi Kaplan, a multi‑instrumentalist whose musicianship and spirit have become a defining part of the band’s sound. As a saxophonist, flutist, pianist/keyboardist, accordionist, guitarist, singer, and songwriter, she brings a rare versatility shaped by years of performing jazz, funk, classical, blues, pop, Irish music, and rock ’n roll. Her bright, free energy elevates every rehearsal and performance, and her ability to connect with audiences — whether through a soaring sax solo or a soulful vocal line — makes her a standout presence wherever REVALUTE plays.

Booking REVALUTE doesn’t just bring a high‑energy, crowd‑pleasing performance to your venue — it directly supports rising local artists like Moremi who are dedicated to their craft and ready to make their mark. In a world where young musicians often struggle to find platforms, REVALUTE proudly champions their growth, giving audiences a chance to witness tomorrow’s talent today.
