Benny
Benjamin Wise founded The Revival Festival, in 2015. The first festival was self-funded, and took place in Squamish, British Columbia. Benjamin grew up in the UK and trained as an actor, and later became a singer-songwriter and event organiser. Many of the artists who performed at the original festival were friends of Benjamin´s, who he met while managing popular bar/music venue “Falconetti´s”, in Vancouver, through booking them for shows there. The original purpose of the festival was to glue together the segregated, but highly talented music community of Vancouver, and to create new and exciting collaborations.

Ashley
A co-founding member of the Revival Festival, Ashley Frerichs brings her passion for music and community to everything she does. After spending years in Vancouver and London, she's now back in her hometown of Calgary living the family life with her partner and son. When she's not on mom-duty, she's likely working on one of her many writing projects, or learning to play the piano.
