The world-class musicians in Big Richard initially convened in 2021 for a festival date. The quartet showed up to the one-off like it had been together for years, bursting with jaw-dropping virtuosity; playfully irreverent stage banter; stunning four-part harmony vocal interlace; imaginative arrangements; a refreshingly eclectic repertoire; and a healthy dose of lady rage.
Quickly things for the Colorado-based, neo-acoustic supergroup morphed into something way bigger than a one-and-done appearance. The sellout club shows, and the confirmed festival dates across America drastically changed its members’ lives. Now, Big Richard is poised to penetrate the Americana music world and beyond. To date, the quartet has issued 3 singles, the Live from Telluride album, and it has new music on the way.
Birds of Play is an Americawna Roots quartet based in the San Juan Mountains of
Southwestern Colorado. Their distinct sound is rooted in and inspired by their connection to the land in which they reside. The band features multi- instrumentalists and songwriters Alex Paul on Guitar, Mandolin, and Vocals; Jeanette Adams on Upright Bass; Anneke Dean on Violin, Guitar, and Vocals; and Jack Tolan on Guitar, Mandolin, and Vocals.
Their arrangements and compositions reflect their vast and teaming pools of inspiration from artists such as Wood Brothers, Punch Brothers, Andrew Bird, Watchouse, and Gregory Alan Isakov. Birds of Play’s high-caliber musicianship and song craft are laced with imagination and a vibrant, intuitive understanding of the human condition – while their live shows weave together an intricate tapestry of place, authenticity, magic, and humor.
