Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds
« on: August 31, 2011, 11:29:34 am »
I caught these guys from the Vibes radio broadcast and liked what I heard... picked the album up off of itunes the next day.  As with most acts, the album doesn\'t capture the energy and possibilities that they create in a live setting but it does give a good representation of the variety of musical styles they play.  Most of the set that I heard from Vibes laid heavily in the funk & rock category similar to James Brown / Sharon Jones type of sound... Anyway, they have 2 dates coming up in CT and I just figured I\'d pass on the word to anyone that might be interested.

A must see, one of the best sets at Vibes for sure.

We caught some of their act at Rock N Roll Resort and again at Strangecreek. Def. like what I have heard so far.
