To describe Jeff Bird's music in a few
words is impossible; and, in fact, there may not be enough
words to gather up and cover all the nooks and crannies
of Jeff's musical imagination.
Here's an attempt at it...
Lewis Melville:
"Travelling in Bird's universe is like participating in
a seance held by a bunch of existentialist minstrels; after
being introduced to all the participants by the host, the
music draws the listener into a world which is a blend of
many musical styles and sonic experiences, a place haunted
by mischievious ghosts and ruled by a vivid imagination.
"
That being said, it's probably best to
experience Jeff's music for yourself; which leads to his
two solo albums, "Jeff Bird"
and the very new "Everything is coming
Clear and Plain to my understanding", both of which
will play nicely on a slow Sunday afternoon. It's music
to dream to.
Famous for his long time association
with the Cowboy Junkies, Jeff recorded on their hit album
Trinity Sessions and all their subsequent albums, and toured
with the Cowboy Junkies around the globe. Jeff is also a
founding father of the renowned traditional folk band Tamarack,
and has composed music for both film and television. He
is highly respected as a multi-instrumentalist, and his
producing credits include Tamarack, and Bird
Sisters. Watch these pages for news on his upcoming
muti-media tour.
