Birds of Chicago - CQAF

Birds of Chicago, is a collective based around JT Nero and Allison Russell (Po’ Girl). Whether touring as a duo or with the full family band, Nero and Russell have emerged as two of the most compelling new voices in North American Roots music.

Nero’s fractured country-soul voice wrapped in Russell’s silver and gold tones is a fine thing. Not too perfect, not at all saccharine, you’ll hear echoes of mountain gospel, street corner doo-wop, classic soul. Accompanied by just a banjo and a guitar, it’s chilling. Fired by a full band, it’s a full tilt revival.

Last time ‘Birds’ were in Belfast it was standing room only, get in quick.
