Reviver Entertainment Group invited radio industry members and special guests last weekend (Dec. 14 – 16) for a trip of gratitude and relaxation in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Appropriately named Reviver Fest 2018, the outing offered attendees exclusive hotel amenities as the label commandeered the entire Hotel Zamora for its guests for the waterfront excursion. Led by President/CEO David Ross and Executive VP/GM Gator Michaels, Reviver created this trip to thank industry reps for their support by offering a fun getaway as the year comes to a close. The gathering also gave attendees the change to hang with Reviver’s artists and songwriters and hear their music.

Saturday night had plenty to offer as well with Reviver’s veteran hit-maker and No.1 singer-songwriter David Lee Murphy headlining the popular St. Petersburg’s outdoor venue, Jannus Live.
The free show also featured Reviver artists Tenille Arts, Josh Gracin, and Haley & Michaels. After the show, Reviver’s Regional Promotion Manager Dave Collins shared his gaming skills by offering a poker tournament for guests back at the hotel which lasted long into the night.
