The Whybirds
The Whybirds represent a distillation of the best of rock music from the last four decades... Imagine the vocal harmonies of the Byrds and the Band, the songcraft of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Steve Earle and the sonic attack of the Black Crowes, Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam, and you're getting close to the stirring, uplifting sound of The Whybirds.
All four members of the band are singer/songwriters – giving the group a diverse range of songs and vocal styles – but without straying from The Whybirds' sanguine brand of rock 'n' roll.
