Revolfusion energetically blends the traditional music from Brazil, Central America and rhythms from the Caribbean such as merengue, salsa and bachata with the lively colors of modern music like rap, reggaeton and rock. Their highly contagious music always pours the audience in a magical atmosphere, merging strong musical lyrics with the power and raw energy of grooves.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of NBC\u2019s The Voice will be excited when they hear that Nashville\u2019s own Swon Brothers will be on the Public Square Stage on Friday, April 25th. The Swon Brothers, Zach and Colton, first hit the national radar with their incredible two-part harmonies and fun-loving personalities as finalists on Team Blake (Shelton) in Season Four. Their \u201cSwoncert\u201d (as referred to on their site) will be a crowd pleaser that will be a great kick off for the Eagle\u2019s tribute band, 7 Bridges: The Ultimate EAGLES Experience, which takes the stage later that night.<\/p>\n<p>The Festival also loves to show off all the local talent that makes the Clarksville community so great. Fortunately, there are several talent shows that take place over the three days and application\/auditions are being accepted for Clarksville\u2019s Got Talent, Aspire to Stardom and Last Band Standing.
