Athens, Georgia’s Futurebirds bring their laid back and stoned out brand of country rock to Mohawk Place tonight along with Burlington roots rockers Waylon Speed and local folk rockers Hokan.
In town promoting their latest release, Hotel Parties, Futurebirds are a riot of chiming, cascading guitars and sweet harmonies, and for fans of Brooklyn it-band Phosphorescent, this is a can’t miss. Vermont’s own Waylon Speed, meanwhile, is straight ahead, ecstatic American roots music that’s a transcendent tonic for your clapping hands, dancing bones, and world weary soul.
Tickets are $12, doors are at 7pm and Hokan gets the show started right around 8pm.
