For more than twelve years, The Birdsongs have defined walking by faith. After giving away their belongings and selling their home in the great state of Washington, the Birdsong family bought an RV and began their journey planting seeds through a faith-based music ministry. With no plan and little money the family of eight (at the time) prayed together and agreed "this is something God has laid on our hearts" as they drove slowly onto the highway. "God always comes through in a big, big, big, way" proclaims Wendell Birdsong, the father and guitarist of the remarkably multi-talented family.

Recently, The Birdsongs' new EP release titled "Celestial Stationary" has taken a leap of faith of its own by receiving radio airplay (CHR) from the first single "Pieces". This track written by Benjamin Birdsong (lead vocals/electric guitar) was stirred by a devastating teen tragedy. "One night I just poured out my heart" reflects Benjamin, "and we have received so many stories on how God is using this song to change lives". Also penned by Benjamin is the EP title track "Celestial Stationary", an electrifying contemporary tune with lyrics of hope and truth as expressed in the line "He's writing out I LOVE YOU in the stars". Completing the five track EP is "Letting Go", "So Much More", and "The One"; in which all songs seek unity amid the listener and our Creator. "People often ask for our permission to sing our songs at their own church or special event" explains Benjamin.

Rounding out The Birdsongs are siblings Mathew Birdsong (bass/vocals), Coleene Birdsong (12 string acoustic/vocals), Timothy Birdsong (piano/keyboards/vocals), and Philip Birdsong (drums/vocals). Mathew is the oldest at age 24. All band members play multiple instruments including the piano/keyboards, violin, banjo, mandolin, guitar, bass, and drums. These talents are articulated during their exciting live performances along with unified harmonies and a fantastic a cappella hymn. "We have a great time!" says drummer Philip, now 17.

Today the Birdsong's are a family of nine residing in Tennessee with latest seven year old son Joshua who with his older sister Priscilla occasionally joins the band on stage. The band and family (mom included) tour together and enjoy the comforts of their own tour bus. "It's a whole ministry effort" adds Coleene, "that's what it's all about." Their all-embracing fan base welcomes them performing live at over 120 events per year including churches, schools, festivals, conferences, and youth events. The Birdsongs have entertained at Dollywood theme park in the Great Smokey Mountains, Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, appeared on Gospel Music Television (GMT), and heard on numerous radio interviews and at concerts all over the USA and Canada. Becoming widely known as one of the most versatile bands today; The Birdsongs incorporate an extensive range of musical styles including traditional, Pop, Alternative Rock, Modern Praise and Worship, Southern Gospel, Bluegrass, as well as original Christian Contemporary compositions. All music and performances are focused on joyfully Worshiping and Praising our Lord!
