Working under the name Bird of Youth, music journalist Beth Wawerna earlier this year has released “Defender,” an album that combines the guitar-driven pop sounds of 90s rock with Wawerna’s clever lyrics and authoritative delivery. Assembling a quality cast of friends and collaborators, Bird of Youth showcase the process in which the critic becomes the performer, with satisfying results. – See Bird of Youth live at Union Hall on September 29, read Jason Bertone’s Q&A with Beth here.
