The Selmanaires are an American Indie rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Two members, Herb and Jason Harris, are twin brothers.

The name of the band derives from the street address of the first house they practiced in together : 73 Selman Street in Reynoldstown, a neighborhood in Atlanta. The band played its first set of original material in the summer of 2003.

The first few shows featured Herb on acoustic guitar, Tommy on stand-up bass, and Jason on Wurlitzer electric piano, drums, bongos and various other percussive instruments. All three sang. After a series of shows in Atlanta, the band eventually reduced the number of instruments played to electric guitar, electric bass, and drum kit. All three members continued on vocals.

Multi-instrumentalist Mathis Hunter joined the band in January 2007.
