Band Websitehttp://www.birdmancini.com
Band MembersRUBY BIRD-Accordion, melodica, harmonica, keyboards, percussion, vocals
BILLY CARL MANCINI-guitars, vocals

...and when we play with a full band:

JOHN BRIDGE-bass

InfluencesStubbornly eclectic, we're influenced by everything good that we hear--real or imagined. From our many musician friends, to The Beatles, to XTC, dada, Django, Mahalia, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Count Basie, Hendrix, CSN&Y, and on and on...it all shows up in our music sooner or later. We're interested in writing songs with melodic lines, rich with vocals, improv and often unusual instrumentation.

Listed among the "Top 10 Best of the Year" by METRONOME MAGAZINE

"Big fun…full of good songs, strong harmonies, and rock solid musicianship." -Shaun Dale, Cosmik.com

"Mesmerizing guitar…stellar vocals…Bird Mancini is clearly on to something special." -Doug Sloan, METRONOME MAGAZINE

BIRD MANCINI
, Boston's accordion/guitar rock duo released their third CD "Funny Day", (Second Story Records) to great reviews, featuring their eclectic and at times a bit psychedelic acoustic rock pop style with lush vocal arrangements. Back from a recent West Coast Tour, they also performed for the International Pop Overthrow Festival in Boston, New York and Liverpool UK Cavern Club.

Along with critical acclaim and an ASCAP/Boston Music Award nomination, Bird Mancini were twice named among the Top 10 Year's Best by New England's Metronome Magazine. They've opened for David Crosby (of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young), Leon Russell, Gregg Allman, Jonathan Edwards, James Montgomery, Mighty Sam McClain and the Pousette-Dart Band. The duo performs occasionally with Boston rock legend, Sal Baglio of The Stompers, and the traveling troubadours known as Urban Caravan in a variety of acoustic venues.

Gospel choirs in country churches and Kansas City blues and swing were Ruby's early upbringing, while Billy Carl cut his guitar-playing teeth on high school rock and roll bands covering songs by 60's greats like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles and the Stones. Mix it all together and you get two high-spirited lead singers, blues-tinged guitar, accordion, harmonica, a variety of percussion, bells and whistles that is the Bird Mancini duo. Add a plethora of talented musician friends acquired over the years, and you get energetic recordings with an astonishingly colorful palette--Indie-Music.com says, "It's so refreshing to hear such great variety on every single track and with such consistency and quality." As AllMusic.com puts it, "Bird Mancini is likely to please a wide array of listeners."

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.
