About Us
Who is the Orange Town Revival?
We are a musical act based in Southern California, featuring Brother Tom and Sister Dee -- occasionally joined by other musicians -- performing classic American folk and popular songs.
As historians and entertainers, we can provide authentic, 19th Century or early 20th Century musical entertainment for your historical-themed event.
See us perform and hear our music on our Videos page, including "Lulu's Back in Town," winner of five awards at the Eighth Annual Wild Bunch Film Festival 2023!
