"There is probably no one within 100 miles with a better command of the ragged vocal sincerity of Waits’ original delivery than Roger Carroll." - STYLE WEEKLY

Get Behind The Mule was formed in 2024 by vocalist and saxophonist Roger Carroll and bassist Adam Hopkins to celebrate the 75th birthday of America's greatest living singer/songwriter, Tom Waits. The band includes members of amminal, Miramar, Out Of Your Head Records, Curlew, Bio Ritmo, and The Orthotonics.

Hopkins presented concerts of Waits' music for years in Baltimore with the band White Lodge, and recently adapted the arrangements for Roger Carroll and a cast of Richmond's finest improvisers, including drummers Pippin Barnett and Scott Clark, guitarist Gary Kalar, Anthony Dowd playing both piano and accordion, and staple members of the Bio Ritmo horn section John Lilley on saxophones, Bob Miller on trumpet, and Toby Whitaker on trombone.

The repertoire spans Waits' entire career to date, and this show will be the second public performance of Get Behind The Mule. The December 2024 performance at Gallery 5 was a smash hit.

With only 100 seats, shows at Révéler are intimate and immersive. A romantic venue with exquisite sound and dreamy vibes, Révéler offers a unique selection of cocktails, wines, beers, bubbles, and non-alcoholic beverages. Our kitchen delivers small plates crafted with care.
