Treaty Oak Revival: Radio Buzz Amid Mixed Vibes

By on April 29, 2025

At 3:00 p.m. on the Big River stage, Treaty Oak Revival brought their high-energy Southern rock-country blend to Two Step Inn, drawing a fervent crowd despite your 10-thumbs-down rating. Their radio play and loyal fanbase demanded a nod, so I’ll highlight their appeal while acknowledging the set’s challenges. For me, their raw intensity and crowd connection offered moments of promise, even if the performance didn’t fully click.

Background and Bio: Formed in New Braunfels, Texas, Treaty Oak Revival blends country, Southern rock, and Red Dirt. Their 2021 debut No Vacancy and 2023’s Have a Nice Day feature hits like “Missed Call” and “In Between,” with “Missed Call” hitting Texas radio charts in 2024. They’ve played SXSW and opened for Koe Wetzel. No TV or movie credits or awards are noted, but their Two Step Inn slot and Spotify streams (per festival buzz) reflect their growing clout.

Performance Review: Treaty Oak Revival’s set was a polarizing burst of energy. Your low rating suggests they fell flat for you, perhaps due to an overly rowdy delivery or repetitive sound, common critiques in Reddit threads. Still, their radio hits drew a packed crowd, roaring for “Missed Call,” its driving beat and angsty lyrics a festival fit. The band’s intensity—screaming guitars, pounding drums—aimed for arena-rock vibes, though it occasionally overshadowed their country roots. “In Between” was a standout, its introspective edge showing depth. The crowd, mostly younger fans, moshed and sang, proving their radio buzz. Frontman Sam Canty’s gravelly vocals and cowboy hat swagger kept the energy high, even if the set felt one-note at times. Their passion and fan devotion, as seen in festival coverage, made the performance a draw, even if it didn’t resonate universally.

Final Thoughts: Treaty Oak Revival’s Day Two set was a mixed bag, but their radio play and fan energy kept them relevant. They’re a band with potential, still finding their festival footing.
