Who is Waterloo Revival?

As proven by the guys of Waterloo Revival, Cody Cooper and George Birge, passion and talent can be formed and nurtured from a young age. These talented artists have not only been friends since middle school, but they've been involved in music for just as long. The members of Waterloo Revival are not just extremely vocally talented and ingenious guitar players. They are true magicians with pen and paper. They've been writing songs together their entire lives and say it is one of their biggest passions.

Both Cooper and Birge grew up in the musically vibrant city Austin, Texas and are very proud of those roots. In fact the duo's very name is recognizing were they came from. Most may not know this, but Austin, Texas was originally Waterloo, Texas. The duo recently released an EP titled Front Row. The six songs are "Summer Thing," "I Could Get Used To This," "That Damn I Didn't Give," "Backwood Bump," "Front Row," and "Meet In The Middle." They lent their song writing talents to each song. The EP is available on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play. Waterloo Revival recently made The Reviver Nation very happy with the unexpected release of an additional song titled "Racin' To The Redlight."

     Their first show together as Waterloo Revival was back in 2012 at Lucky Lounge and they have since toured all across the United States including the Grand Ole Opry, twice! I had the pleasure of catching this duo during an acoustic show put on by my local radio station 98.5 KVOO. Let me tell you, just because they were sitting on a stool playing for us doesn't mean you couldn't feel the excitement radiating from these guys or the passion behind every note. There was not one single moment they did not have a smile on their faces. In the spirit of this #Artist411 if you follow this link, you'll find a YouTube interview with the guys were they share some basic 411 info with you.

 They are extremely active on social media with their fans (Revivers), very humble, and having the time of their lives fulfilling their dreams. Country music truly has a diamond in these self proclaimed nerds at heart.
