American Ethnographers was established in Athens, Georgia, in 2018 and is currently based out of Brookfield, Illinois. American Ethnographers defies boundaries and celebrates an eclectic set of influences with a sound firmly rooted in '70s blues-based rock, filtered through the raw energy of '90s alternative and grunge, country kissed, and incorporating hints of punk and new wave.
More than just a band, American Ethnographers is a project for social justice, hoping to be a catalyst for change, using music to shed light on the struggles faced by marginalized and oppressed peoples and to motivate listeners to take action.
