Who is Red Bird?

Red Bird is an Americana-Soul band that communicates through powerful, vulnerable vocals and mind-bending guitar features. Their original songs can be classified in a variety of different genres and they draw on a wide range of influences, including the music of Emily King, Leon Bridges, Lake Street Dive and the Alabama Shakes.

What people are saying

“Just interviewed my favorite Portland band! If you like the music of Bonnie Raitt, Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, Patsy Cline or Nina Simone, you will love Red Bird’s music. ”

— Stephanie Kralevich, More Good Day Oregon (Fox 12)

“The result is a band that is unabashedly soulful with elements of blues and roots. Gregg’s formal vocal training is evident in her ability to trade in both tenderness and sheer force.”

— Kelsey Greco, Vortex Music Magazine

“She’s got this great voice, forceful one minute, tender the next, controlled yet simmering with feeling.”

— Holly Johnson, Oregon Music News
