Fifteen years ago, a group of musicians from different backgrounds found each other at the University of Georgia. They met each other while studying for their respective degrees and have been together ever since. It was their frequencies that aligned perfectly to form one of the most prominent bands to come out of Athens in recent years. After years of playing together, the group has become a family. As for its sound, Futurebirds has perfected a Southern indie-rock cocktail of soul and passion incorporating psychedelic rock and a hint of Americana. So far, it has released four studio albums and eight EPs. The band’s passionate live shows are known for electrifying its audience both old and new. Now, the members will get back to their roots, celebrating their legacy with a two-night run at the Georgia Theatre. Wednesday’s show is already sold out, but tickets remain for Tuesday.
