Thurdsay, March 23rd $10 Pre-Sale Tickets | $15 Day of Show Doors at 5pm | Music at 8pm *no cover until 7pm* MAGIC BIRDS (Americana) VIDEO | LISTEN Magic Birds is a Chattanooga, TN-based band made up of Scott Bruce and Ben Ezell. Delivering their own brand of Americana music, the duo blends together elements of classic country, bluegrass and folk, producing a stripped down style of music that exemplifies the sound that has helped shape their lives. Telling stories that they have heard over time, stories they have lived through and stories they have simply imagined, Magic Birds continues to put their heart and soul into the music they create. Since releasing their debut album The Music of Benjamin Bruce in 2015, they have shared the stage with major artists such as Elephant Revival, Milk Carton Kids, Penny & Sparrow, Rhett Miller, Unknown Hinson, Adam Faucett, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Josh Roberts & The Hinges, 49 Winchester, Nathan Bell and Chattanooga legend, Roger Alan Wade. However, their passion for the blossoming Chattanooga music scene has led them to build great relationships with artists of all genres in the Scenic City, and they have had the pleasure of performing alongside their friends on many occasions. Currently working on their sophomore follow-up album, they continue to perform live around the region, growing their fanbase and molding the story of Magic Birds. BEARHOUND (Indie Folk | Roots) VIDEO | LISTEN Bearhound is an indie folk band rooted in Appalachia. Originally a trio founded in 2012, the band was recently revived as a four-piece group in 2022. With melodic sounds and passion-filled lyrics that make you want to shout along, the group draws influence from bands like Felice Brothers, Dawes, The Avett Brothers, Modest Mouse, Blitzen Trapper, and Cat Power. Featuring Abe Woodrow (guitar/vocals), Jason Schweizer (banjo/harmonica/vocals), Natalie Schweizer (bass/accordion/vocals), and Melissa King (violin/vocals)
