   About tin bird choir
Tin Bird Choir plays Pennsylvania Barn Rock.

Tin Bird Choir is the husband-and-wife duo of Eric and Heather Hurlock backed by musicians Josh Sceurman and Ellen Houle. They have earned growing acclaim in the Philadelphia region for their distinctive “alt-folk barn rock” sound. Rooted in the rural hills of Pennsylvania, their original songs are built with literate lyrics, organic harmonies, and melodies that range from lilting to urgent. It’s an old sound with a modern sensibility.

They were finalists in the World Cafe Live's Philly Rising competition, they've had the pleasure of playing live on 88.5 WXPN for Gene Shay, the legendary host of the long-running Folk Show (a staple of Philadelphia radio for over 40 years), they brought barn rock north of the border for Canadian Music Week in Toronto, and this past summer they played the historic Philadelphia Folk Festival.

Eric and Heather have been playing music together for over ten years in the backwoods of Pennsylvania, the beaches of Assateague, the pubs of Scotland, and the streets and squares of Boston and Cambridge.

During the Spring and Summer of 2007, members of the local musical community, Josh Sceurman and Ellen Houle, joined them in their barn for picking and playing. Soon TBC was practicing weekly and gigging regularly, playing at venues all around the Philly Metro area.

Tin Bird's debut CD, BARN ROCK will be available at their CD release parties and is for sale now at CDBaby.com

"Tin Bird Choir. It's slightly country, slightly rock and definitely good, wholesome music that you can't help but enjoy listening to. Check them out, let them grow on you, and join one of the coolest families around." - Laurie Perini, The Phoenix

I need to be in the top 100 vote-wise to move to the next round. Right now i'm tied with a bunch of other bands at #96, but i want to keep moving up, so i need some help. tell anyone you know to vote! if you have a facebook, please tell people about this on there.
i'm a small-time guy trying to make it big, here. help out the underdog.
