About The Revels

The Revels are a multigenerational band built on family, friendship, and a deep-rooted love of live music—a legacy that has been entertaining audiences across Utah and Idaho for more than six decades. Founded in 1964 in the Bear Lake Valley by guitarist Lindon Parks and his brothers, The Revels began as a local dance and event band, quickly earning a reputation for lively performances, strong musicianship, and a setlist that kept audiences singing and dancing all night long. What started as one musician’s passion grew into a family tradition that continues to thrive today.

Over the years, The Revels evolved into a unique ensemble made up of family members and lifelong friends, each bringing their own talent and personality to the stage. Lindon’s son, Darren Parks, joined the band as a bass player while still in high school, followed by Lindon’s daughter, Jody, who added her musical talents on keyboards. Family friend Ryan, who grew up alongside Darren and Jody, became the band’s lead vocalist during his high school years, adding charisma and vocal versatility to The Revels’ sound. Lindon's son-in-law, Oliver, later joined the group as lead guitarist, strengthening the family connection at the heart of the band. Scott joined as drummer, completing a lineup that blends decades of experience, close-knit chemistry, and a shared passion for creating unforgettable live performances.

Today, members of The Revels call Mapleton, Payson, Spanish Fork, and Woodland Hills home, but their music has carried them to audiences throughout the region for generations. Their enduring appeal comes from a rare combination of professionalism, authenticity, and versatility. From timeless classics of the 1950s and 1960s to crowd favorites from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, The Revels perform an expansive catalog of popular cover songs that connect with audiences of all ages. Their ability to seamlessly move from classic rock and pop favorites to dance hits and modern favorites makes them equally at home performing at city celebrations, weddings, private parties, festivals, and corporate events.

More than just a band, The Revels represent a musical tradition built on relationships, community, and the joy of bringing people together through live entertainment. Their performances are known for high energy, polished musicianship, and a genuine connection with audiences—qualities that only come from decades of playing together and a love for the craft. Whether performing for a packed festival crowd, a wedding reception, or an intimate private event, The Revels bring the same commitment to excellence and the same spirit of fun that has defined them since 1964.

With a history spanning generations and a sound that continues to resonate with audiences young and old, The Revels remain one of Utah’s enduring live music acts—a cover band whose story is as rich as the music they perform, and whose legacy continues to grow with every show.
