About
American folk band Bowerbirds recently captivated audiences with a memorable Tiny Desk concert that showcased their distinctively spare, handcrafted songs reminiscent of an old house's creaking floorboards. Led by singer-songwriter Phil Moore and supported by bandmates Beth Tacular, Mark Paulson, and Brad Cook, the ensemble's performance featured tracks from their critically acclaimed albums like "Hymns for a Dark Horse" and "Upper Air." Bowerbirds' music, which blends elements of folk and intricate instrumentation like accordion, violin, and bass drum, captures themes of nature and humanity's place in the world. Known for their emotional and pastoral sound, the band's latest album "becalmyounglovers," released in 2021, continues to resonate with fans. With a career that spans over a decade since their formation in Raleigh, North Carolina, Bowerbirds have garnered praise from music critics and toured with The Mountain Goats, earning accolades from notable figures like John Darnielle. Their ability to fuse folk with poignant storytelling has solidified their place in the indie music scene, making them a standout act in the realm of contemporary folk music.
