The Thing With Feathers

$15 ($12 adv.).

media release: The Thing With Feathers are an alt-rock, indie pop and dance powerhouse, fueled by three of Nashville’s favorite fools: David Welcsh (vocals), Alex Hendricks (lead guitar), and Chris Roussell (drums). Blending their affinity for several artists such as Coldplay, the 1975, and The Strokes, the band created a distinct sound best expressed in their May 2019 release, ‘Figure It Out’. The infectious hook and pop-sensitive rock sound helped the track amass over a million and a half streams on Spotify since its release, quickly becoming a fan-favorite at live shows and proving a powerful catalyst in reaching an international audience. The bands sophomore EP, Waste My Revenge, has garnered over half a million streams on Spotify and comes on the heels of their ‘Lights Down Low’ music video being added into rotation on MTVs Spankin’ New, a featured performance South By Southwest in Austin, TX, and constant touring throughout the U.S.

Forming in Boston in 2018, Canadian-American indie rock outfit Mom Rock combines the forces of Curtis Heimburger, Wilson Reardon, and Tara Maggiulli. With nothing but organic grassroots efforts, Mom Rock have surpassed 7,000,000 streams on Spotify alone and have reached a global audience of over 600,000 listeners. They’ve released four EPs to date, and have been slated to play on stages of festivals like Shaky Knees, Music Midtown, Osheaga, and Mile of Music. They were recently featured as Rolling Stone’s Hot Band in their 2022 Hot Issue, and are a 2023 Salt Lick Incubator grant recipient.
