Who is Red Bird?
Fronted by Bre Gregg (vocals) and Dan Gildea (guitar), Red Bird’s sound is led by powerful yet tender vocals interspersed with mind-bending guitar features. Bre and Dan are magic together organically sharing the lead in a way that brings both to the forefront. Jeff Langston (bass) and Charlie Doggett (drums) are a force to be reckoned with, creating driving rhythm you will feel. Dancing between soul, R&B and roots, their sound is both electrifying and intimate. You will be transported to a dimly lit and pulsating music club, but somehow feel you are listening in your best friend’s living room.

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