Splice Records recently announced that the annual fest has expanded to three full days of music, camping, nature, floating and fun and they have added a new food program presented by Houston-based Chef Adam Dorris of Presidio and Pax Americana. Chef Dorris will be bringing his culinary expertise to the campgrounds to provide breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night snacks to festival goers with the purchase of their all-inclusive festival ticket.

“Having Adam Dorris, his team and his food trucks handling over 3,000 meals served is no simple feat,” said Splice Founder and Owner, Shaun Brennan. “It is a task he is willing to excited about leading and we are honored to have him. I am always excited to see the people, to listen to the bands but this year there will be a cooking display put on like no other seen before on the River Revival ‘Lawn.’ The Food program at River Revival is unique in comparison to other Texas festivals in the fact that all the meals are complementary and communal. We wanted our festival to stand out by replicating camping trips I took as a kid, when coolers were open to everyone and the meals were made, served and ate together as one big happy family.”

Each year River Revival draws in more than 1,000 conscious campers, all gathered to partake in a variety of activities geared towards bringing people together for a good time. Activities such as intimate campfire concerts, hiking, river floating, canoeing, various workshops, morning yoga sessions, kids music class, activities, a hula-hooping workshop, natural live art exhibits by Journey Through, fire dancing, One Pot Cooking Competition, River Revival giveaways and prizes and so much more.

Whether you camp every weekend or you have never slept in a tent before, River Revival offers a bright light departure with carefully curated artists to enhance everyone’s experience. The design of the festival was created with adults in mind, though children under 10 are free and welcomed to attend. Families with children will be assigned a campsite in the family area or across the street at the quieter K&L Camp Cliffside.

The event is sponsored by Saint Arnold Brewing Company, Presidio, Deep Eddy Vodka, Sprouts Farmers Market, Kickin’ Kombucha, Kind Healthy Snacks, FIX Coffee, Boomtown Coffee, C & D RV Service Center, Texas Direct Insurance – Rick Chester, BeanFields, Cottonwood, Henna Love, Southern Drinking Club, Zanvara, Signal Starts and Creamistry. Vendor and sponsorship opportunities are also available.

“River Revival has grown at a very nice pace, and every year seems better than the last,” said Brennan. “We have a strong feeling this year’s event will be no exception. The music and the river have always treated us well while the campgrounds slowly melt together and form a spiritual oasis for 3 days that has felt special every year. This year is unique to past Revivals because the Art and Food Programs will be equally fascinating to the live music.”

About Adam Dorris:

After escaping the culinary desert of northern Oklahoma and planting roots in Houston, TX in his mid-20s, chef Adam Dorris changed careers and pursued his passion of cooking and hospitality in the city’s bustling new dining landscape. Over the past decade Chef Dorris has worked through some of the city’s top kitchens, eventually creating his own highly successful concepts. He began his journey at downtown Houston’s Four Seasons Hotel as a morning prep and breakfast cook while attending the Art Institute of Houston. He then developed his skills at the highly regarded Voice, the popular gastropub Branch Water Tavern, and the Italian inspired Stella Sola where he held the title of Chef de Cuisine. During this time, Chef Dorris created the legendary Ghetto Dinner pop-up series at Grand Prize Bar serving fine dining food on paper plates to the masses. After leading the kitchen at the Heights institution, Revival Market and creating another successful year long dinner series, Dorris left to create his first restaurant, the hyper-seasonal Pax Americana. Pax-Am immediately garnished rave reviews both locally and nationally, landing on GQ’s Top 5 Best New Restaurants of 2014, number three on Alison Cook’s Top 100 Houston Restaurants, and Houston Press #1 New Restaurant of 2014. In 2017 Dorris and his business partner, Taylor Lee, created Loving Cup Hospitality and the casual restaurant, Presidio, in the historic Houston Heights neighborhood. At Presidio, the chef continues to champion local farmers, ranchers, and artisans with his ever-evolving seasonal menus in a relaxed and approachable setting for any occasion.
