This trio of bands set to play Buvez is sure to provide a swinging evening. Nashville acts Future Crib and The Medium are currently on an east coast tour together, and will join Elijah Johnston for a stop in Athens. Future Crib is an alternative indie rock band that originated as the solo endeavor of Johnny Hopson, but grew to include a rotating cast of 30 or so musicians before solidifying into its current four-member lineup. The band’s most recent album, Full Time Smile, was released in 2022. The Medium is a four-piece psych-tinged pop-rock band made up of Shane Perry on vocals and keys, Michael Brudi on acoustic guitar, Sam Silva on bass and slide guitar, and Jared Hicks on drums. Earlier this year, the band released the two-track EP She’s Got It / Moon Rocks, hot off the heels of last year’s full-length For Horses. Elijah Johnston is a young local singer-songwriter “whose songs bridge the conversational songwriter fare of now and the hooky guitar based music of the past.” He’ll share songs from his 2022 album Uncle Honker during his last show as an Athens resident before moving to Atlanta.
