Listen to Bird Dog Jubilee's Latest Single "Take Your Breath" March 1, 2019 11:07

Bird Dog Jubilee’s latest release, “Take Your Breath”, was recorded live at Aisle 5 in Atlanta Georgia. It is a follow up to their previous release “Tabby’s Playhouse” which was also recorded by Andre Griffin on August 31, 2018. “Take Your Breath” will be available on Spotify and everywhere music streams on March 8th, 2019. In the meantime, we're pleased to offer you the exclusive release of the band's latest release. 

BDJ’s homecoming at Variety Playhouse February 17th, supporting Spafford, established their position in Atlanta’s budding music scene and cemented them as a jovial act here to stay. They have been gaining steam by steadily notching off clutch plays last year including BIG Something support at Terminal West, CBDB support at Georgia Theatre & Song Birds, SweetWater 420 Music Festival, and SweetWater 21st Anniversary Party. They now have their sights set on touring the Southeast.

They released Album Art, their inaugural 3-song EP, at 420 Fest last year. It was recorded at Prana Studios with Will Clark of Funk You’s and Andy just outside the Atlanta city limits. Whether they are blending old ballads or hashing out new grooves, this is act is always a sight to see at their crux.

These guys are a collection of instrumentalists that blur the lines between structured songs and improvisational jams.  This is encapsulated by their ability to seamlessly meld tunes while encouraging impromptu collaborations with fellow musicians live on stage.

Each member has an eclectic set of influences in which they draw inspiration from, but they can always agree on The Band, The Dead, Phish, Allman Bros or My Morning Jacket while on the road. The synergy of each member’s experiences culminate live on stage providing a unique take each time you attend a performance.

Maradeen

-

Maradeen is an American rock band based out of Nashville, Tennessee. Founded by guitarist, Whit Murray, in the summer of 2014 with keyboardist, Kaitlyn Connor, and bassist, Sterling Miller, the band formed their initial roots as a high energy rock n roll quartet. With classical and jazz improvisation backgrounds they forged and evolved a unique and well-versed sound. In 2015 Tom Galloway moved to Nashville for songwriting and began collaborations with Murray. The band entered the analog studio "Welcome to 1979" in the spring of 2015 and recorded their first full-length LP entitled, "Mirage". The album features the initial hard-hitting rockers from the band's formative stage while revealing the new songwriting dynamic between Murray and Galloway.

Although the band was new to the scene at this time, the origins of Maradeen run deep. Murray played lead guitar for Galloway's band, Mama's Love, between the years of 2009-12. During this time they toured nationwide, developed a devoted fanbase, and recorded with renowned producers Tom Tapley and John Keane. Galloway continued fronting Mama's Love while Murray extended his education at The Berklee College of Music.

Mama's Love had shared the stage with the progressive rock band, Afro, several times in the past which featured Connor on keys. Connor met Miller through the MTSU music program where Miller majored in audio engineering and played with bands Harrison Anvil and The Bourbon Barrel Band. A long line of history, coincidence, and mutual passion brought together the group, and they continue to make strides as they climb the mountain of music.

Bird Dog Jubilee

Bird Dog Jubilee is a 4 piece jam band from Atlanta, GA whose sound blends classic and psychedelic rock with a touch of the blues. Formed in early 2014 playing private parties and outdoor festivals, they quickly developed their own style through different influences. Bird Dog Jubilee’s use of musical improvisation and blend of musical genres sets them apart from what you see on stage today. Inspired by The Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, The Band, and Phish, Bird Dog Jubilee has crafted their own unique sound with catchy lyrics, intricate guitar riffs, and crunchy jams. Always playing a different set and using different theatrics, they will keep you begging for more.
