Biography

When The Stray Birds take the stage, the spotlight is shared. Singing into a single microphone, three joyfully blended voices hover above the raw resonance of wood and strings. The Stray Birds are a trio of friends, raised on music within a few miles of farmland from each other in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Songwriters Maya de Vitry and Oliver Craven serve as the creative flames of this group, but it is the trio’s dynamic vocals, collective arranging process, and three-part harmonies with bassist Charlie Muench that send each song soaring. The arrangements breathe with the subtlety and nuance that introduced their sound on the Borderland EP (2010), but The Stray Birds have both refined and widened their sound on this wholly original debut full-length album.

The Stray Birds eponymous album was released in the US in September 2012, and has garnered numerous accolades here, and in the UK. The band has just secured international distribution, and the album will be released in the UK and Europe in September.
