Best known for their sharp songwriting and mesmerizing three-part harmonies, the Stray Birds have been captivating listeners since 2010. Multi-instrumentalists and vocalists Maya de Vitry, Oliver Craven, and Charlie Muench came together busking on the streets of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. After five albums and hundreds of shows, the band is best known today for its songwriting, its tight and forthcoming vocal harmony blend and its commitment to an impassioned delivery of original material, both on stage and in the studio.
Their 2016 Yep Roc Records release Magic Fire was produced by Grammy-winner Larry Campbell and earned much praise, including being named by NPR as one of Folk Alley's Top Ten Records of 2016. With time, their sound has evolved to a palate broader than what it first was on the street corners and in the markets, but this much remains true: The Stray Birds is a band of musicians as subtle and nuanced as they are energetic, a band of writers as blatant and bold as they are coy, and perhaps most importantly, a band of people as friendly and compassionate as they are talented.
Tonight the Stray Birds will be celebrating the release of their newest album. If The Stray Birds were going to make another album, there was only one way it would happen: together. The idea was at once a challenge, an ultimatum, and a survival mechanism for a band at the crossroads. The result is Let It Pass, their fourth album and most powerful, personal, and cathartic collection yet.
