Treaty Oak Revival Conquered Texas One Show at a Time – Now They Want to Go National

Major labels are courting Treaty Oak Revival, which built a following with "the craziest, rowdiest, most entertaining" gigs

In November, less than a week after the Texas rock band Treaty Oak Revival released their second album, Have a Nice Day, the group took the stage in front of around 2,000 fans at JJ’s Live in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
