Bird and Byron headline A&R Music Bar on Friday, December 11, 2026, with Adam Paddock in the opening slot. Doors are at 7:00 p.m. and all ages can attend. The duo plays Beat Kitchen in Chicago the following night, so this is the Ohio stop on a short December swing.

Blake (Bird) and Nick (Byron) started out in Los Angeles, came back to Columbus during the pandemic and built a following with One Take Tuesday, a run of single-take videos that drew notice from James Taylor, Coldplay and Noah Kahan. They cut their debut EP at Nashville's Bomb Shelter with producer Andrija Tokic, moved to Nashville in 2022, and have since opened for Durand Jones and Old Crow Medicine Show. Their own site now counts three albums and two EPs, plus a turn on season 21 of America's Got Talent.

On the road they usually carry a six-piece band, which pushes their soul-leaning rock well past the acoustic duo sound of the early videos. Expect a hometown crowd that knew them before the move south.
