About The Shoe Birds

Founded by Norman Adcox and Scott Coopwood, The Shoe Birds existed from 2014-2020 and released five full-length albums. The Shoe Bird name was inspired by the only children’s book acclaimed Southern author Eudora Welty ever wrote. Adcox and Coopwood created music that had its own sound and message that are true to themes from the heart telling stories influenced by growing up and living in the Mississippi Delta and Memphis, TN.
