Sounds from another time, their joyful millage blends fetching female vocalists, two of whom are sisters, with guitar, banjo, trumpet, trombone, and stand-up bass. The female vocals create a soulful, dynamic harmony that accentuates each singer, while giving the illusion of a single voice. The trombone, banjo, and guitar elevate the music to a higher level while the skilled notes of the bass reflect the harmonies. Each style bounces off the other, while each note appreciates the other.
Their slightly unorthodox configuration, their willingness to get a little weird manifests in a Folk, Americana sound that pays homage to the American Bandstand of the 1950’s, with a hint of Roaring 20’s flare. Indeed, more than an old-timey sound, Paper Bird maintains the Indie rock image and resonance of the current age with a progressive and complex style.In a word, Great Music. But, they do more, they make audiences feel love, excitement, and passion. I've been waiting for these guys to come along again, a show not to be missed.
