Bowerbirds Announce Fall Tour Dates

Following the critically acclaimed release of Upper Air, Bowerbirds took their show on the road, touring relentlessly from the summer of 2009 to the Spring of 2010. After a few quiet months at home, Bowerbirds return to the road this fall for select dates. Starting at Hopscotch, their hometown music festival, they will take their live show to Texas and back.

Bowerbirds live performances are stunning, taking the intimacy of the recordings and translating them to the stage. Their sweet and subtle melodies can silence a room, capturing the grace and charm of their recordings perfectly. As the New York Times put it “folk bands from North Carolina don’t have the easiest time getting packed rooms of New Yorkers to turn silent. But Bowerbirds’ dulcet, string-filled folk songs gently cooed affairs about backyards and interstate highways– inspire a quiet, trancelike reverie.”

Watch the gorgeous video from “Northern Lights” below. Directed by Matt Amato, this video is an elegant visual accompaniment to the centerpiece of Upper Air.
