Brown Bird – The Sounds of Ghosts

  • June 16, 2011

Providence, RI based indie folk band Brown Bird self-released their EP The Sound of Ghosts. Despite changing line-ups over of the past few years, David Lamb (guitar, banjo, percussion) has found a great complement in bandmate Morganeve Swain (fiddle, upright bass, cello), together creating dark folk music with touches of rockabilly, Americana, blues, Eastern European flourishes, and haunting harmonies. Clearly their music is catching on: Brown Bird is slated to play at the Newport Folk Festival on July 31st, where Joan Baez and Bob Dylan launched their careers. – Written by JFelton
