Futurebirds share new video via Rolling Stone, present tour with Teton Gravity Research
Athens, GA psychedelic country mainstays Futurebirds are excited to share the new video for “Waiting On A Call,” a highlight from their recent LP Teamwork. The video, which stars Ozark’s Marc Menchaca, debuted via Rolling Stone Country, who said that “Onstage and in the studio, the tone shifts wildly within the ‘Birds— from sheer sorrow to manic happiness, upbeat power ballads to tear-in-your-beer heartbreakers. The selections are undeniably catchy and poignant, each varying greatly from one tune to the next, something immediately comparable to the melodic swagger and genius of the Band some 50 years earlier… One of the most fascinating and captivating rock acts touring today.”
The band has also announced a new run of tour dates, which will join an already robust touring schedule that includes performances at Sweetwater 420 Fest in Atlanta, GA and Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, TN. The new dates are presented by extreme sports media company Teton Gravity Research. See below for the current 2020 tour itinerary.
Teamwork received a great deal of praise upon its release — No Depression said “Futurebirds is one of the most consistently excellent bands of the past decade, and their latest release, Teamwork, reminds us why,” and American Songwriter praised their ability to “capture the smaller, more intimate moments of life with artful perfection.” Paste Magazine named Futurebirds one of “13 Artists Making Great Southern Rock Right Now,” noting that “This record could take Futurebirds to the next level… but for those of us who’ve been around with this band since the beginning, Teamwork is just another chapter in this century’s great southern rock story.”
