One of Nashville’s most genre-bending bands, Judah & the Lion is described as wildly creative, with a reputation for rule-breaking music and a sound that belongs entirely to them.

“There’s no boundaries,” says front man Judah Akers, who shares the band’s lineup with drummer Spencer Cross, mandolin player Brian Macdonald, and banjo wiz Nate Zuercher.

Although audiences might have a hard time describing Judah & the Lion’s music, that hasn’t keep them from loving it. “Take It All Back,” the rollicking single off the foursome’s second full-length album, sat at No.1 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart in January. And Kids These Days, the band’s debut record, climbed to No. 4 on the Billboard Folk Chart and No. 2 on the genre-wide Heatseekers chart after its release in September 2014.

Known for their fun, carefree, electrifying live shows, Judah & the Lion have built a large, loyal fan base on the road. The band is looking forward to their 2017 U.S. tours with Twenty One Pilots, Kaleo, Incubus and Jimmy Eat World, as well as worldwide headline dates later this year.
