Brown Bird
website: http://www.myspace.com/brownbird
Brown Bird is an original 3 piece band which draws influence from Country, Blues and Eastern European musics. Brown Bird began over five years ago as the brain child of songwriter David Lamb and has developed into a miniature orchestra of harmonized voices and instruments carrying Lamb’s haunting lyrics on surging waves of Appalachian, gypsy, and shanty music. The group hails from Rhode Island and pulls from the talents of each member to create a diverse folk music that swells into high-spirited, foot-stomping madness. members: david lamb: guitar, banjo, percussion, vocals morganeve swain: fiddle, viola, cello, ukulele, vocals mike samos: dobro, lap steel, mountain dulcimer
