Where to see Futurebirds
About Futurebirds
Futurebirds came together in Athens, Georgia, in 2008 and released their debut album, Hampton's Lullaby, in 2010. The band mixes country rock and Americana with a psychedelic haze, keeping pedal steel at the centre of the sound and layering guitars and harmonies over loose, rolling rhythms.
There is no single frontman. Several members write songs and take turns singing lead, so the records shift in tone from track to track. Later albums include Baba Yaga and Portland Cement Factory at Monarch, Utah. Live, the band stretches songs out well past their recorded length.
