   About brown bird
Brown Bird is an original 5 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 Maine and pulls from the talents of each member to create a diverse folk music that swells into high-spirited, foot-stomping madness.

An Extended History:

Brown Bird’s history starts when David Lamb returned to New England after a stint of unemployment in Seattle, bringing with him the first seedlings of a catalog of dark introspective songs. He settled in Portland Maine and Brown Bird crystallized with the addition of Lamb’s close friends Jeremy (voice, accordion, banjo) and Jerusha Robinson (voice, cello). Together they formed the stormy, ‘dark-americana’ sound that would identify the band for much of its earlier years.

As a trio, Brown Bird self released two albums: ‘Tautology’ (2006), and ‘Such Unrest’ (2007). Their third record “The Bottom of the Sea” found its home on the Portland Maine based label Peapod Records. Following its release in 2008, Lamb embarked on an extensive solo tour throughout the U.S. in support of the album.

While touring, Lamb met Morganeve Swain (voice, violin, viola, cello, ukulele) and Mike Samos (dobro, lap steel, mountain dulcimer) two Rhode Islanders who would join him for several shows on the road and later become full members of Brown Bird.

Members of Brown Bird now reside in both Maine and Rhode Island. The group released its newest record "The Devil Dancing" in November 2009 on LP and CD on the Peapod Recordings label.

You guys should definately come back to the Central VT area, you're really good. I love David's voice, and the instrumentals are awesome. My friends and I were simply amazed at how many instruments each of you play, and how David managed to play the drums, guitar, and sing at the same time. We have a band, and my friends were ripping on me afterwords because I'm the vocalist/guitarist, so they said, "You have absolutely nothing to bitch about, at least you don't have to play drums too!"
I wish you guys luck on the rest of your tour and hoepfully you guys do make it to Europe.
