After rambling from river town To river town, he settled down in Kansas City. With years Of songs under his belt, Revere Rivers was ready To record an album. The VP Of Virgin Music Group, Steve Weatherby, spots his talents and suggests connecting Revere with Los Angeles-based record producer Marvin Etzioni, who has worked with Lone Justice, Counting Crows, and Trombone Shorty, To name A few. Revere suggested To Marvin, let's try one song together and see what happens. After completing the Revere original "Lofty Politics," their fate had been sealed. They took their time finishing what is now the debut album "I Was Born Of Water." The album features James Gadson (Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, McCartney) on drums on the opening track and first single, "A Girl Named Happiness" (another Revere original soon To be A classic).
