Years of European and North American tours,
four critically acclaimed albums, two Juno nominations and two Canadian Folk
Music Award nominations...little wonder, the buzz around John Reischman and
The Jaybirds continues to grow. Like the mandolinist at its helm, the group
fashions a stylish, elegant take on bluegrass that is at once innovative and
unadorned, sophisticated and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned, yet
unselfconsciously new. To see their live show is to believe it. A genial
blend of story-telling and side-show humor provides the backdrop to their
studied performance of original songs, instrumentals, and newly arranged
traditional material.
Hailing from the variegated ranks of the contemporary West Coast acoustic
music scene, each of these 'birds has certainly earned his wings: the list
of projects they have contributed to over the years is nothing less than a
short list of acoustic power houses. Together, their seamless ensemble work
makes for one of the freshest, most tasteful band-sounds on the folk and
bluegrass circuit today.
