We have finished our new album and it will be released on Friday 8.11.23. It will be available to download and stream on all online platforms, we will have it <a class="no-pjax" href="https://wearemagicbirds.com/store" data-link-type="url">here</a> on our site for ordering, and we will have a handful of <a class="no-pjax" href="https://wearemagicbirds.com/shows" data-link-type="url">live shows</a> to celebrate the release. <br>Here's more about the album:<br><br><span style="color:rgb(29,34,40);">On their sophomore album, </span><i>Twenty-Three</i><span style="color:rgb(29,34,40);">, Magic Birds tapped into the musical genius of Chattanooga, TN's own Nick Lutsko for the production. Keeping true to their Americana style of storytelling and mix of classic country, bluegrass, folk and soul, the direction of this album was to present their newest batch of songs with a full-band sound. With Lutsko at the helm, the band sought out many of their musician friends around Chattanooga to help them accomplish what they were searching for. The album features appearances by Amber Fults, Matt Shigekawa, Dan Pinson, Randy Steele, Deron Stevens, John Boulware, Drew Streip, and of course, Nick Lutsko--and not to mention mastering by Charles Allison and artwork by Steven Ratajczyk. And after many years of tweaking, perfecting and swimming through life's challenges, </span><i>Twenty-Three </i><span style="color:rgb(29,34,40);">is finally ready to present to the world and Scott Bruce and Ben Ezell of Magic Birds could not be happier! So turn it on, turn it up and take a musical journey with Magic Birds through the songs of </span><i>Twenty-Three</i><span style="color:rgb(29,34,40);">.</span></p>Magic Birdstag:wearemagicbirds.com,2005:Post/71753782023-03-20T20:40:36-04:002024-01-23T19:05:55-05:00Catch us in 2023!<p>We are late getting an update to you this year, but man, 2023 has been a blast for us so far and it's just getting started.

It was a great year for us, especially since we just launched Magic Birds to the public in May 2015. We have had great support from our friends and family, and we have made some great new friends along the way as well. <br><br>You may have noticed that we haven't played out live since October. We are not going anywhere, just working on a few new things....maybe some new songs, maybe some new t-shirts, maybe some new members.....maybe Ben is growing out his hair?? We will be back soon, and hopefully with more fire than before! Thanks for your support and we look forward to seeing you all again very soon....</p>Magic Birdstag:wearemagicbirds.com,2005:Post/37324122015-06-07T18:15:46-04:002023-12-10T12:18:05-05:00Debut album available!Our new debut album, <em>The Music of Benjamin Bruce</em>, is now digitally available at these fine locations:<br>iTunes<br><a contents="Amazon" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.amazon.com/Music-Benjamin-Bruce-Magic-Birds/dp/B00YE999OQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433952033&sr=8-1&keywords=magic+birds+the+music+of+benjamin+bruce"><span style="color:#FF0000;">Amazon</span></a><br><a contents="CD Baby" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/magicbirds"><span style="color:#FF0000;">CD Baby</span></a><br><a contents="Spotify" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://open.spotify.com/album/0KKux4CVawFoC7GVN35XrN"><span style="color:#FF0000;">Spotify</span></a>Magic Birds
