PAPER BIRD
w/ Bad Weather California & Laura Goldhamer
Standing firm in no existing genre, Paper Bird's backbone is their songwriting, musicianship, and a general allergy to all limitations and trends. With seven members, and no leader, this band is pulled in every direction imaginable, but thanks to their unique instrumentation, this Colorado based group is able to merge there spontaneous creativity into one, solid sound.

The members of the band, Sarah Anderson, vocals and trumpet; sisters Esmé and Genny Patterson, vocals; Tyler Archuletta, trombone; Paul DeHaven, guitar; Caleb Summeril, banjo; conveniently met in the mountain town of Breckenridge, CO. There, the egg hatched and the birds took flight. Their Jazzy, Folk, Americana sound pays homage to the "Roaring 20's." Still, they are able to achieve the Indie rock image and resonance of the current age.

The female vocals create a soulful, dynamic harmony that accentuates each voice, yet, combines them into one. The trombone, banjo, and guitar elevate the music to a higher level. Each style bounces off the other, while each note appreciates the other. Recently adding an up-right bass, Macon Terry, the richness of Paper Bird's music has developed immensely. The skilled notes of the bass reflect the harmonies of the existing vocals and instrumentation.
