Their upcoming live album was born out of pandemic life and the live-streams they shared from their New Orleans porch. Through 2020, they recorded the majority of their weekly performances, which included many songs they would not normally perform live. While their 2020 tour plans evaporated, an array of new songs, both original and covers, emerged from this time. By the end of 2020, they had recorded the basic tracks for a new studio album, as well as a selection of live-stream performances for a live album.

In the midst of the pandemic, they found themselves in search of sanctuary, space, and a change of pace. To that end, in 2021 The Dirty Rain Revelers relocated themselves to another town known for music – Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

Fast forward to 2022, and the live record is finally getting its turn to shine. The songs chosen for Live from the Porch reflect the times we’ve all been living through, and yet have a timeless quality about them. Forever fans of Bob Dylan, The Dirty Rain Revelers chose to bookend their live album with two Dylan songs (Masters of War, 1963 and It’s Alright Ma, 1965). These two songs set the tone for the mood of pandemic life and in particular, the mood of Summer 2020.

Recorded by Matthew DeOrazio; Performed by Melissa and Matthew DeOrazio in New Orleans, LA. Mastered by Grant Walden at HearTell Studios, Muscle Shoals, AL
