Continuing the Museum’s monthly First Friday tradition, April’s evening includes a live performance by Texas Street Revival, a Providence-based band whose sound flows effortlessly between blues, funk, and roots-driven rock.
At the heart of Texas Street Revival is a groove-forward approach led by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Bill Cook, alongside drummer Glenn Alexander. For this special six-piece performance, they are joined by Mark Garabian (bass), Mike Cordeiro (keyboards), Tyler Volucci (saxophone), and Josh Grabert (guitar), bringing added depth, texture, and dynamic range to the band’s live sound.
Known for their deep rhythmic sensibility and collaborative spirit, Texas Street Revival balances tight arrangements with moments of improvisation, creating music that feels both intentional and expansive. Their latest album, The Devil and The Deep Black Sea, marks a compelling evolution in the band’s sound—exploring darker tonal territory and more intricate arrangements while pairing soulful melodies with layered instrumentation and introspective themes. Drawing inspiration from across musical traditions, the band moves seamlessly between intimate passages and driving, full-band intensity, an energy that translates powerfully in a live setting.
Set against the sweeping views of the Harbor View Gallery, the performance will begin at 6:00 PM and last approximately 90 minutes, providing the soundtrack for an evening of music, art, and community.
First Fridays at the New Bedford Whaling Museum invite visitors to experience the Museum after hours with live music, a lively social atmosphere, and access to galleries throughout the evening. Guests can enjoy a cash bar and complimentary lite bites, provided by D&D Catering, explore current exhibitions, and connect with friends old and new while celebrating New Bedford’s vibrant creative community.
