The Dirty Birds

Printer-friendly version

Catchy melodies meet rapturous lead guitar, country twang and jazz sensibilities in this New York-based quartet. Though rooted in the singer-songwriter tradition, the Dirty Birds are essentially a rock band in the 1960s mold of endless experimentation and musical freedom—the result is an occasionally retro sound, colored by modern pop and indie-rock such as Fiona Apple, the Smashing Pumpkins, and Wilco.

Forever pigeonhole-phobic, the Dirty Birds will peck away at anything until they make it their own, incorporating elements of pop, soul, folk & country, psychedelia and Brazilian music into their sound. Having left their home base of Ann Arbor, MI for Brooklyn, NY with a strong collection of songs and an energetic, jazz-rock live show, the Dirty Birds have the potential to leave an iconic mark on the American soundscape.
