Hillside Spirit Revival

Hillside Spirit Revival is an Acoustic Indie Folk band from Delray Beach, FL. Its members are Hannah Lima (vocals, percussion), Rachel Andes (vocals, guitar, harmonium), Robert Francis Humphreys (vocals, bass, guitar), and Chris Michaud (vocals, guitar). The band released its debut, self-titled EP on June 23, 2017.

Founding member Rachel Andes had spent the last 7 years between South Florida and Philadelphia, performing in separate duo acts with fellow members Hannah Lima and Chris Michaud. Meanwhile, Michaud’s previous band with member Robert Humphreys had dissolved after losing its drummer in an accident. The four friends were each desperate for a change, so when Andes was invited to perform at a well-known local venue, her choice for bandmates seemed simple.

Early History

Shortly after Hillside Spirit Revival formed, they began playing live shows in multiple venues in South Florida, most notably, Propaganda, Respectable Street Cafe, and Arts Garage where they joined forces for a tribute concert to Corey Jones. It did not take long for the band to gain notoriety in local media, garnering distinctions like "Hillside Spirit Revival‘s the best indie-folk band you’ve never heard of." Their fast growing following forced them to book venues with larger capacity, leading them to venues like Sons and Daughters Farm and Winery for their sold out album release concert.

As band member Humphreys describes, Hillside Spirit Revival's first hit, Soul Revival tries "to convey a message of hope" The song resonates with everyone who hears it. With powerfully captivating harmonies, and distinctly evocative lyrics, Soul Revival connects the band with their audience on a personal level; an underlying theme and mantra of the band.
