Biography:
Birds of Chicago, is a collective based around JT Nero and Allison Russell. Whether touring as a duo or with the full family band, Nero and Russell have emerged as two of the most compelling new voices in North American Roots music.
For several years Russell and Nero’s respective bands, Po' Girl (Vancouver, BC) and JT and the Clouds (Chicago, IL), have collaborated extensively, but on 2011’s Mountains/Forests, released under the JT Nero banner, they tapped into the true, bewitching power of their voices together on an entire record.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Really cool song. Check out https://soundcloud.com/birdsofchicago/02-cannonball
for the song and to see more songs by this artist. I really enjoy their strumming pattern,
it's basic but they allow you to do a lot of stuff within the rhythm of the song.
This is my first submission so any feedback is appreciated!
