Birds Already hails from Plymouth, MA, home to the Mayflower and other disappointing tourist attractions. As there was not much to do in Plymouth during their teenage years, each of the Birds met one another through shared musical endeavors. This will be Birds Already's 4th year of Somerville Porchfest!
