More About Waterloo Revival-

Bio 

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. “I’d sang in choir and stuff, but I’d never taken it any further,” George admits. “But by seventh grade I was hooked and Cody and I were writing songs together.”

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 in Denton, while George stayed in their hometown of Austin to attend the University of Texas.

After graduation, George found work in Austin’s commercial real estate scene, while Cody had a full-time job in mortgages in Dallas. The pair, who’d remained close through college, would play together during Cody’s visits back home. By 2012, their musical chemistry was undeniable and George made the hard sell, convincing Cody to leave his 9-to-5 and 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. “Eventually, it was renamed to honor the ‘Father of Texas’ Stephen F. Austin.”

“It seems like Austin music has been contained to Austin and is not being pushed out,” George adds. “We wanted to be Waterloo Revival in order to bring Austin music back to the rest of the world.” More
