Birds of Chicago is a collective built around husband and wife duo J.T. Nero (Chicago, IL) and Allison Russell (Montreal, QC). Since forming in 2012, they've toured internationally 10+ months of the year. Their rock and roll poetry, a capella spirituals, acoustic balladry and driving country rock is built on Nero's fractured country soul croon and guitar wrapped in Russell's silver and gold voice and clarinet for a harmony blend that is like nothing else. Their streamlined poetry, deep grooves, sharp hooks and joyful singing come straight from their gut, and aim right at yours. After a year of hard touring, and much buzzed about appearances at summer festivals (Strawberry, High Sierra, Kerrville, Hillside, Delfest, Vancouver Island among others) the band is most at home on the road, zigzagging across North America and Europe in their family band van, with their new baby daughter, Ida Maeve, in tow.
