Futurebirds are a psychedelic country rock band from Athens, GA. The cast and crew of the band include Carter King (vocals/guitar/banjo/keys), Payton Bradford (drums/banjo/vocals), Thomas Johnson (mandolin/guitar), Brannen Miles (bass), Daniel Womack (guitar), and Dennis Love (pedal steel). Their name is derived from an old Native American legend. While sitting in a University of Georgia poultry science class “down at the chicken factory in Athens,” King learned that Native Americans believed birds could read and tell the future, and thus the name Futurebirds was born. Futurebirds are known for their high energy shows and country rock infused sound. Their music incorporates reverb-soaked four-part harmonies supported by pedal steel guitar, rhythmic percussion, banjo, mandolin, and acoustic and electric guitars with heavy feedback. I am real excited to see this band in October at the Larimer Lounge in Denver. This is "Ski Chalet" off of their 2010 release Hampton's Lullaby.
