Brown Bird Electronic Press Kit

 

Brown Bird has a tendency towards the dark side. Pulling from the influences of the blues, outlaw country, roots rock, early American folk, Gypsy and Eastern European music, Brown Bird offers harmonized voices, haunting lyrics and diverse rhythm and instrumentation, which surges in waves that often swell into high-spirited, foot-stomping madness.

Brown Bird began in 2003, and has since toured extensively, including a European stint supporting RI-based band The Low Anthem. The duo is now working on a fifth full-length album, to be released in early 2011.

Band Members:
Dave Lamb: vocals, guitar, banjo, percusssion
MorganEve Swain: vocals, violin, cello, upright bass
