When Waterloo Revival wanted to introduce their brand new single, “Bad for You,” to their fans, they came up with a unique method. With thousands of fans in Nashville for the CMA Music Festival back in June, the guys decided to rent a pedal tavern and let people listen to the song while they pedaled around the city and drank beer. For those not familiar with a pedal tavern, George explains, “It is a bar that is on wheels, and it’s like a ten-person bicycle and there’s a driver, who obviously is sober, the only sober person on the tavern, and you pedal down the streets of Nashville while you’re drinking.”
The guys felt like inviting people to board the pedal tavern would be a great way to have some fun with their fans while introducing their new music. George says, “Everybody that went on the tavern got to hear ‘Bad For You’ and drink beer while they did it.”

Waterloo Revival – pedal tavern :27
George – “That was really a good time. So, it is a bar that is on wheels, and it’s like a ten-person bicycle and there’s a driver, who obviously is sober, the only sober person on the tavern, and you pedal down the streets of Nashville while you’re drinking, and we actually partnered with the Pedal Tavern in Nashville and we used them as a platform to debut our brand new single, ‘Bad For You’, so everybody that went on the tavern got to hear ‘Bad For You’ and drink beer while they did it.”
