Roberta Faceplant is a honky tonk hurricane from Philadelphia. The 5-piece Outlaw Americana band has been called “a cowpunk miracle” and been compared to “Southern Culture on the Skids fronted by Laura Bell Bundy.” It’s Country, but you can hear the city.

Vocalist and singer/songwriter Katie Feeney leads the band with a voice that blends the raw, rock n’ roll grit of Janis Joplin with the whimsical, western smoothness of Patsy Cline. Staffed by a gang of mischievous musical veterans, Roberta Faceplant’s live show is high-energy roadhouse joy infused with a rebellious spirit that’ll keep you on the dance floor all night.

The band’s sound has captivated audiences in the Northeast Corridor with elements of southern rock, old school country, rockabilly, and the blues blending perfectly into a melting pot of killer melodies, memorable riffs, and playful storytelling.

Roberta Faceplant has already garnered international press and radio play on KEXP, WXPN, KLKT, KOOP, Nola County Radio, Post To Wire, Lonesome Highway and more. The band just released their debut EP, Yee Haw Stuff, on July 26, 2024 and is working on a follow up slated for 2025

Rev Chris & Les Garçons Crasseux

Christopher Marsceill (aka Rev Chris) was born in Boston and raised in Philadelphia, where they attended Settlement Music School at age 11 and eventually studied with Philly staple Eric Speigel who introduced him to reharmonization and singing. At 17, he made his way to New Orleans, where he studied under Mike Pellera, Ellis Marsalis, and Peter Martin, and began to move away from modern jazz after meeting Joe Krown and Jon Cleary and embracing the ways of boogie-woogie and Professor Longhair style blues. Next was a string of successful tours with the Ted Hefko Quartet and New Orleans Juice and Brides of Jesus (featuring Russell Batiste of the Meters). In his travels, he has shared the stage with Widespread Panic, Ani DiFranco, Blueground Undergrass, Santana, a member of Squirrel Nut Zippers, and the Dave Matthews Band. While not on the road, he spent his time performing in the French Quarter with the Bradford Truby Trio, the Dukes of Dixieland, St. Louis Slim, and Preservation Hall Jazz. He can also be found on bootleg recordings by Meters bassist George Porter's solo project. The icing on this cake was a weekly appearance at the historic Maple Leaf Bar as part of the Ellen Rogers Band from 1999-2002, in 2003 co- founded “Restless Natives” with Bill Iuso and Brian Besse. Their debut album featured Dirty Dozen Brass Band members and the Neville Brothers.

Since relocating to Philadelphia following Hurricane Katrina, he began performing solo around the city, beginning a residency at the Tavern on the Hill in 2007 that continues as of 2024. He put together his own ensemble, Les Garçons Crasseux, and began to focus mostly on original music. He has appeared in the bands of many Philadelphia-based performers, including Roger Learnard, Emmett Drueding, Daisy Royce, and Bill Avayou. A first-call session player, he has appeared on albums by David Cope, Daisy Royce, Brian Kors, Humbleman Band, Mighty Rhythm Kings, Paul Downie, and Max Mason, along with about a half dozen albums recorded during his time in New Orleans.

In 2018, he released his 9th album, The End of Love, which was solo piano. Here he strays away from original music and re-imaginationed songs by Prince, Leonard Cohen, the Beatles, Tom Tallitsch, Fats Waller and Blind Melon. His 10th album, a live performance featuring the sextet, was released in August of 2019 and featured originals along with an arrangement of the Miles Davis song “Flamenco Sketches” and the Fats Domino classic, “Blueberry Hill”. During the COVID-19 quarantine of 2020, Rev self-released multiple singles on the online platform Bandcamp, in addition to streaming gigs. He also reformed the Drums N Keys duo with either Gusten Rudolph or Claudio de Pujadas and entertained, while masked up, on the streets of Philly and the surrounding area.

In March of 2024, "Lingua Franca” was released with his working band, Les Garçons Crasseux. The album features many songs written during the COVID lockdown years.
