NYC Artists on the rise: Railbird – CD release at Rockwood on 02.24

Railbird isn’t afraid of void nor silence. Split between the isolated wilderness of upstate NY (where they converged in March of 2009 in a friend’s A-frame cabin surrounded by snow) and the crowded lonesomeness of NYC, this band produces sparse music that speaks to the heart – and can be comforting to both the lonely and the stressed out. Sarah Pedinotti’s theatrical vocals tell stories about everyday life, while her backing band creates a beautifully balanced soundtrack that doesn’t shy away from being occasionally playful. We are impressed with these guys, we recommend you check them out at their CD release party at Rockwood Music Hall on 02.24.
