Athens gem turned nationally acclaimed act, Futurebirds’ music is a charming blend of Southern rock, folk and Americana. Rolling Stone has credited the band with carrying on “Athens, Georgia’s Indie Cool History” and even describes it as “the most captivating rock act touring today.” Futurebirds recently released their fifth studio album, Easy Company, which patches together influences ranging from My Morning Jacket to Neil Young. The release has 12 tracks—four apiece from each of the band’s frontmen, Daniel Womack, Thomas Johnson and Carter King—and it features artists including Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield and Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood. This hometown show is part of Futurebirds’ larger U.S. tour., which includes support dates with other big names in Americana including Shakey Graves and Nathaniel Rateliff.
