Birds Already

Band Description: 

Birds Already is a five-piece band rooted in funk, r&b, alternative rock, indie rock, and folk rock. The members of Birds Already all met through the Plymouth Public Schools system several years ago during high school and formed the band in late 2018. The Birds continue to polish their original tunes as they gear up for their first release while expanding their cover repertoire. Their catalog stretches from modern inspiration like Hiatus Kaiyote, Louis Cole, and Vulfpeck, to classic favorites such as Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Earth Wind & Fire, and Prince.

Raunchy circus roots. Polished precision performances. A joyful cacophony of Balkan, Klezmer and funk, with a tasteful thrash of metal thrown in for good measure. No matter the occasion, Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band has got the brass to get you up and dancing.

Horns will wail. Shoulders will shimmy. Faces will melt.
