Lowertown is a duo composed of Atlanta natives Olivia Osby and Avsha Weinberg. The two met in a high school math class, and quickly bonded over their similar tastes for jazz. Lowertown’s music, however, blends lo-fi, electronica, folk and indie stylings with lyrics often inspired by relationships and Osby and Weinberg’s experiences adjusting to life and the punk scene after their move to New York City. Since putting out its first single in 2018, the band has released three studio albums, including 2019’s Friends, 2021’s The Gaping Mouth and 2022’s I Love to Lie, with its latest release earning it a spot on Stereogum’s Best New Bands of 2022 list. Lowertown’s Athens show will be opened by performances from local bands Nihilist Cheerleader, Coma Therapy and Telemarket.
