The Revivalists charismatic front man, David Shaw, was born and raised just north of Cincinnati in Hamilton, Ohio. After relocating to New Orleans, Shaw continued to perform periodically in Hamilton when visiting family. In 2012, Shaw returned to Hamilton, but this time he brought The Revivalists with him, and they’ve been back to Hamilton every summer since. In 2015, Shaw worked with local officials to establish David Shaw’s Big River Get Down as an annual event to help give back to his hometown.
Since the inception of the festival, David Shaw’s Big River Get Down has donated more than $100,000 to the Hamilton community. All proceeds from the event are donated to Hamilton’s 4th of July fireworks and RiversEdge Amphitheater to provide free concerts at the venue every summer. The annual event has been an asset to a rust belt community who has reinvented itself in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
