Fruit Bats

Fruit Bats, the project of singer-songwriter Eric D. Johnson, bring their indie rock sound to Birmingham. Since forming in Chicago in 1997, Johnson has been the sole permanent member, crafting a distinctive style that blends folk-rock with pop sensibilities. The band's repertoire includes signature songs like "When U Love Somebody" and albums such as *Mouthfuls* and *The Ruminant Band*.

Attendees can expect an evening of heartfelt, guitar-driven music from a band with a rich history of touring and festival appearances. Johnson’s time with The Shins has also influenced his live performances, promising a polished and engaging show. The band's Sub Pop years produced critically acclaimed albums and memorable tracks.
