Neo-Folk Rockers, Birds Of Chicago

Birds of Chicago, “This year’s biggest roots surprise” – L.A. Times, is a collective built around husband and wife duo JT Nero (Chicago, IL) and Allison Russell (Montreal, QC). Since forming in 2012, they’ve toured internationally 10+ months of the year. Their brand of rock and roll poetry can be a little hard to categorize, for people that insist on categorizing… their voices are undoubtedly the centerpiece – Nero’s fractured country-soul croon is wrapped in Russell’s silver and gold tones for a harmonious blend that is like nothing else in music today. Fired by the band it’s a full tilt revival – streamlined poems, deep grooves, sharp hooks, and joyful singing straight from the gut.
