Birds of Chicago, an Americana/folk band from Chicago, Illinois, was founded in 2012 by husband and wife JT Nero and Allison Russell. Prior to forming Birds of Chicago, both musicians had extensive backgrounds in other projects: Nero fronted The Rivermen, while Russell was part of Po' Girl. Their collaboration began with duo shows under their own names before evolving into a full band. In 2012, they self-released their debut album Birds of Chicago, followed by extensive touring across North America and Europe. Notable performances included sets at Delfest, Strawberry Festival, and High Sierra Music Festival. In February 2021, Russell and Nero announced an indefinite hiatus for Birds of Chicago to focus on Allison Russell's solo career.
