Treaty Oak Revival Turns Tampa Into Boomtown

The parking lot promised a rowdy night. Treaty Oak Revival delivered. With Belmont and 80 ACRES setting the pace, the Tampa show brought crowd favorites, “Boomtown” beer showers, and a “Leaving Hell” finale that left us wanting more and smelling like somebody else’s bar tab.

The parking lot gave us fair warning. Before we reached MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre on October 3, the tailgates and parties made it clear that Treaty Oak Revival’s Tampa crowd had started without us.

Traffic took most of Belmont’s set. We caught the final few songs, enough for their pop-punk punch and Midwest emo feel to catch us off guard. On this bill, it worked. Inside, the party was just getting started.

80 ACRES came next. We knew Dylan Marlowe as a singer-songwriter, but his band, 80 ACRES, was new to us. The country-pop hooks landed immediately, with enough guitar grit to connect their set to the headliner. The crowd was into it. So were we.

“Mess We Made” (feat Treaty Oak Revival) made the strongest impression. Catchy enough to follow you out of the venue, it explained why the song has become a calling card for the group.

Then Treaty Oak Revival opened with “Port A,” and the night shifted into another gear.

“West Texas Degenerate,” “No Vacancy,” and “Wrong Place Wrong Time” were favorites, but who were we kidding? They knew what this crowd wanted. The set kept delivering it.

Then came “Boomtown.”

The song had arrived with baggage. Recent incidents involving thrown chairs and other hard objects prompted the band to publicly tell fans to stop. Tampa took precautions. Chair rentals were unavailable, and trash-can lids had been removed.

But the beer showers? Those were coming.

Sam Canty explained the West Texas meaning behind “Boomtown,” and the crowd erupted. Beer went airborne, breaking into spray above the audience.

We had never seen so many $20 beers become weather.

It was ridiculous. It was expensive. It was a spectacle.

“Leaving Hell” closed the night, and we walked out wanting another round of songs, smelling like somebody else’s bar tab.

Belmont’s pop-punk edge, 80 ACRES’ country-pop hooks, and Treaty Oak Revival’s rougher attack made for an eclectic bill with a crowd to match. The parking lot had promised a rowdy night.

It delivered.
