NPR: The Bowerbirds Live at the BPP

The Bowerbirds Live at the BPP

Filed under: Music, Video

The music of North Carolina's Bowerbirds is a rare blend of simple appalachian folk music and lush, natural imagery. Here they are in our studio performing"In Our Talons," from their first full length effort, "Hymns For a Dark Horse."

Does anyone else get a "Mamas and the Pappas" vibe from them? I have to say, I really like the Bowerbirds.
