Sunbirds feat Dave Hemmingway from The Beautiful South

November 2020 saw Sunbirds release ‘Cool To Be Kind’ on the independent label Nectar Records. Kevin Cooper of UK Music Reviews described it as a ' a must-have album from an amazing new band' while John Aizlewood of MOJO called it 'an album with warmth to spare'. With the arrival of multi-instrumentalist Chris Offen in 2022, Sunbirds influences have now expanded and range from Americana, 70’s Pop and Folk to Indie Grunge Rock.  A tongue-in-cheek description of the music by the band would be "The Osmonds fight Radiohead while Stevie Nicks holds the coats". 2023 will see the band continue to grow with the release of their next album ‘A Life Worth Living’ this October and many live dates around the UK. Being accomplished musicians, this 6-piece love to perform and always pull out all the stops whether it be performing favourites from Cool To Be Kind, showcasing new material from A Life Worth Living, or dropping one or two songs from Dave's undeniable legacy. SUNBIRDS are a band very much on the way up as their shows testify. Catch them in small intimate venues while you can, don’t miss out, this band truly soars.
