The acoustic "fringe folk" foursome Birdy fills the nest with an abundance of harmonies and organic instrumentation, presenting earthy, slightly quirky originals, alongside inventive rearrangements of the tried and true traditional folk tunes. 　　The Chicago-based group featuring outstanding vocal harmony fine originals, and creative musical arrangements. With an eclectic repertoire that draws from both traditional and contemporary influences, Birdy has quickly established itself on the Chicago music scene and beyond, and is a regular performer at coffee houses, restaurants and pubs, folk venues, community centers, neighborhood parties, festivals, and farmers markets. The BIRDY idea was literally 'sparked' in the '90's while Bianca Bevard and Sharon Speziale were singing around a bonfire at a camping weekend. Instantly recognizing a soaring harmony blend, the two began performing together regularly. In-demand percussionist Meg Thomas, who provides a wonderful driving and creative dimension to BIRDY's established sound, joined the group in 2007. More recently, veteran bassist Roy McNaughton joined the group, with bass lines that are both artistically fluid and warmly down to earth.
