The Last Revel bring their Minneapolis string-band sound to Laramie's Gryphon Theatre

The Last Revel and The Last Wild Buffalo play Laramie on Wednesday, March 24, 2027. Tickets are $20–$25.

Late March in Laramie is still mud season, and a string band in a theatre is a good reason to leave the house anyway. On Wednesday, March 24, 2027, The Last Revel play the Gryphon Theatre with The Last Wild Buffalo opening.

The show was announced on October 21. It starts at 7:30pm, and tickets are $20–$25 through Tixr. When The Last Revel headline, they usually play rooms of about 400 people, so a midweek theatre show in a college town is right at their size. That also means tickets are worth buying early.

The Last Revel are a Minneapolis band whose sound mixes folk, old-time string-band music and indie rock. The core lineup is Lee Henke on guitar, Ryan Acker on banjo and Vinnie Donatelle on fiddle. It's a bluegrass-style lineup that plays with a rock band's drive. Their story has a second act. The band went on hiatus in 2019, and while they were away, more and more people found their music. They reunited in 2021, and the 2023 comeback album *Dovetail* is where much of their recent following started.

The record they're touring now is *Gone for Good*, released July 18, 2025, on Thirty Tigers. It was produced by Dave Simonett of Trampled by Turtles. That's a natural pairing: another Minnesota band that turned string instruments and rock-show energy into a national audience. Coverage of the album calls it a multi-layered ode to the life of an artist, life on the road, and being human in uncertain times. *Magnet* wrote that it "veers from intimate to epic."

One song comes straight from a bad night on tour. The single "Solid Gone" was written after a 2023 crash on the road that left everyone in the band unhurt. Other tracks include "Static," "Go On" and "Jealousy," across ten songs in all. Expect *Gone for Good* to make up much of the set, with *Dovetail* songs filling in the rest.

The Gryphon is a theatre, not a bar, and that suits this band. Three-part harmonies and a fiddle carry well in a room where people come to listen. A Wednesday-night bill in Laramie should draw both University of Wyoming students and Cheyenne fans willing to drive Happy Jack Road on a weeknight.
