Friday, October 17th! Morningbird will be back!Morningbird is a powerhouse quartet (sometimes trio) with an eclectic vibe. Multi-instrumentalists Jill Burkes (vocals, violin, guitar) and Josh Palmi (vocals, guitar) bring a rare chemistry to their performances. Supplemented by Shane Kingsland on Bass and Jim Pietila on Percussion, the band creates a seamless fusion of folk, rock & country stylings. Rooted in an authenticity that is both grounded and free spirited, their music has been described by critics as folk-Americana, sometimes offering a gospel edge or Appalachian harmonic structure. The group is string driven, performing traditional & original song.
“They're musicians from the Iron Range of Minnesota & right from the start their style's a refreshingly modernized throwback to duos & groups of the 60s and early 70s that carved out the more acoustic folk-storytelling songbook.”
-Americana Highways
“There's driving passion to their songs and the intertwinging vocals simply shine.”
-Americana UK
“Listening to Echoes in the Meadow, MorningBird's new long player, is like wandering through the story of roots music. At every turn, they engage in all its broad forms, are influenced by its sounds and styles, tackle all manner of sub-genre and geography, play with its history and heratage, and, as a result, also help secure its future."
