When WATERLOO REVIVAL’s Cody Cooper met his bandmate George Birge in middle school, he inspired his new friend to express himself through music — a path that drastically affected both their lives.
The duo continued to play together through high school but parted ways so the guys could pursue an education. Cody headed to the University of North Texas, while George went to the University of Texas. The pair would play together during Cody's visits back home all through college. By 2012 their musical chemistry was undeniable and George made the hard sell, convincing Cody to return home in order for them to focus all their energy into music. WATERLOO REVIVAL was soon born, taking its moniker from their beloved hometown.
"Before it was Austin, our hometown was called Waterloo," Cody explains.
"We were so heavily influenced by the Austin music scene growing up," George adds.
"We played one show in Austin and had 200 friends show up," George explains. "Fans were really supportive. We thought, 'Okay, it seems like this is something people are really going to get behind.'”
In June of 2016 WATERLOO REVIVAL signed to Toby Keith’s record label, Show Dog Nashville, and joined him on the “Toby Keith Interstates & Tailgates Tour sponsored by Ford F-Series” where they continued to push their music out to the world, developing a dedicated fan base along the way. Leading off 2017 touring behind their brand new single, “What Guy Wouldn’t,” WATERLOO REVIVAL continues their forward momentum.
