Home of The UK's Country, Americana, and Roots Music Community!
The Rugged Revival is more than a podcast - it’s a movement. Based in the UK but built for the world, we’re a grassroots community network that champions independent Country, Americana, and Roots artists through meaningful support, powerful storytelling, and passionate connection.
From real conversations on our podcast to on-the-ground coverage via our Rugged Crew, to our invite-only Revival Roster and stripped-back Grit Sessions. Everything we do is about elevating raw, honest music and the people who make it.
By the People. For the Music.
