Primarily from the San Diego area,[1] the quartet was founded in the summer of 1995 and soon progressed in barbershop quartet competitions. After earning the title of 1997 Far Western District Champions, Revival went on to become the 1998 International Quartet Champions on July 4, 1998, in Atlanta, Georgia.[1]

They shared the stage with The Swingle Singers in London, England; sang with Dick Van Dyke and the San Diego Symphony; and made two CDs, each of which was nominated for two Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards. They performed in Ireland, England, Canada, Germany; performed and taught harmony courses in St. Petersburg, Russia; and were featured in the PBS special, "Can't Stop Singing" which was broadcast to over 75 affiliates nationally.[1]
