“It’s a blitz of tight, rhythmic instrumentation. It’s a wall-of-sound with punk allusions and yet it remains ethereal with 3-dimensional synths. It’s a journey, a weaving of incredible vocal acrobatics that passionately pour in, around, over and through it all.“ The 5-piece, Revel in Romance, has achieved a pop rock soundscape as in-depth and exciting as it is relatable.

Revel in Romance’s decade of shared writing, producing, and performing together has not only honed their skills but has earned them multiple awards including; “An Atlanta Brave’s Band of the Year” title, “Atlanta’s Favorite Band Award” by Jezebel Magazine, “Best Female Vocalist’ earned by Saxony (Lead Singer) at The Georgia Music Awards, And with the release of their latest music video “BE HERE” (8/24/23), They added two more trophies to their name. “BE HERE” competed against over 13,000 entries in the Telly Awards including works by Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Universal and too many other major film studios to count. Having taken over 3.5 years to paint and film, using no AI or CGI in it’s creation, BE HERE won two Silver Telly Awards - Best Art Direction and Best Visual Effects.

Revel in Romance began when the acoustic trio of quirky, yet elegant lead vocalist Saxony Raine, her older brother, Parker Rehklau (rhythm guitarist), and their best friend Devin Maier (lead guitarist) decided that the energy in their songs and performances demanded not only electric guitars instead of acoustic ones, but also the addition of percussion, bass, and much larger stages, too. An ad on “Craig’s List” led the trio to drummer Mark Robinson, a veteran performer in his own right - having played with Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, and the early Jonas Brothers. Saxony and Parker’s eldest brother, Remington Rehklau (bass), a multi-instrumentalist then completed the group.

From that very beginning, "Mama Jan” Smith (vocal coach to Beiber, Usher, Rob Thomas, and more) guided the band. She, along with Shawn Grove and Jesse Owen Astin, produced the band's 2015 Valentine's Day single release "Little Love" as well as Revel In Romance's debut EP, "Right and Wrong", (June 2016). “Right and Wrong” launched the band onto major stages and coast to coast tours. Revel shared stages with the likes of Kings of Leon, All American Rejects, Collective Soul, Kongos, pVris, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, BlackBerry Smoke, The Werks, Dreamers, Spill Canvas, and more.

The release of their Sophomore EP “Smoke and Mirrors” in 2019 (also produced with Mama Jan Smith and Jesse Owen Astin) led to multiple sold out shows until the COVID lockdown in 2020 prevented any further performances. Focus of the band then turned to discography and song writing resulting in the creation of “BE HERE” and more than 50 new songs. Those songs are currently being recorded and produced with the extremely talented ZK productions, or being self-published in the band’s very own, freshly built, recording studio. Plus, The band is currently planning a Fall Tour to introduce several of their newest songs to fans.

Past Tour HIGHLIGHTS

2021-2022

If COVID gifted them anything, it gifted the band an opportunity to create. Revel in Romance spent their lock down days writing over 50 new songs, recording and filming many of them to stay connected. And, they began the construction, painting, film work and recording of “Be Here”. However, no matter how great it is to have time to create, Revel in Romance still prefers being on a stage sharing moments with their fans than to be anywhere else in the world. So, they were more than grateful in mid 2022 to begin performing again by headlining the Cherry Blossom Festival Brookhaven GA, with Collective Soul, and Rick Springfield.
