ABOUT US

We Are the Blue Wave Revival Band

And This is Our Story

Blue Wave Revival started as a passion project, driven by a group of dedicated Democrats and music enthusiasts who wanted to make discovering new music both easy and enjoyable. Over time, it’s grown into a vibrant global community of music lovers. Recently, we were honored to collaborate with the Harris Campaign to create an uplifting anthem-style song for Kamala Harris’s events. Our goal was to deliver a powerful message.

While I may not be Beyoncé, we poured our hearts into this project, striving for something elegant and impactful.

This is the result of our efforts, and we hope it resonates with you as much as it does with us.

 

🎶 Meet the Blue Wave Revival Band

Every member of this 12-piece powerhouse is a proud U.S. military veteran—united now by music, truth, and a mission to move hearts and wake up the nation.

🎤 Rick Gaspa – Songwriter / Band Founder
100% disabled Vietnam-era Army veteran. Rick writes, produces, and leads every performance with passion, purpose, and unapologetic progressive fire.
🎙️We’re excited to welcome Liam Cathal McKenna as our new lead singer. With a soaring soprano tone and flawless control of the high notes, Liam brings both power and emotion to every song. An Army veteran and proud progressive Democrat, his heartfelt performances often reveal a rich Irish lilt that adds depth, soul, and undeniable appeal to the music.
🎸 Andy “Six Strings” Colson – Lead Guitar
Marine Corps vet whose solos roar like freedom. A blues-fueled firebrand who speaks louder with six strings than most do with six minutes on a mic.
🎹 Tanya “Ivory Thunder” Brooks – Keyboards / Synth
Army vet and musical architect. Tanya builds sonic landscapes that elevate every song with elegance, urgency, and R&B soul.
🥁 Marcus “Boom Boom” Daniels – Drums / Percussion
Navy veteran and heartbeat of the band. Marcus blends protest energy with gospel rhythm to drive our message into the streets.
🎷 DeShawn “Blowback” Hayes – Saxophone
Air Force vet whose sax cuts through the noise like truth through propaganda. A jazz rebel with a revolutionary tone.
🎺 Rico “The Brass General” Martinez – Trumpet
National Guard veteran and Latin jazz leader. Rico’s trumpet is our wake-up call—bold, bright, and impossible to ignore.
🎻 Kimberly “Strings Attached” Cho – Violin / Viola
Former Army medic who heals with melody. Her strings cry, soar, and sing the soul of every ballad and protest anthem.
🎼 Pam “Harmony Queen” Langston – Vocals / Arrangement
Coast Guard vet with gospel roots. Pam’s rich harmonies lift our message and wrap every lyric in strength and grace.
🎤 Ali “Soulshaker” Freeman – Vocals / Spoken Word
Navy corpsman with a poet’s rage. Ali’s voice—spoken or sung—shakes the system and lifts the crowd.
🪕 Bobby “Delta Dawg” Jenkins – Banjo / Acoustic Guitar
Army Ranger veteran with deep Southern roots. Bobby fuses bluegrass, folk, and fire into every pluck and pick.
🎛️ Darren “Wired for Sound” Fletcher – Bass / Electronic Effects
Air Force sound tech turned groove master. Darren’s deep bass and synth textures hold down the truth—and the funk.
📯 Carla “Fanfare” Ruiz – Trombone / Flugelhorn 
Marines vet with symphonic brass style. Carla rounds out our horns with depth, drama, and badass brass attitude.
