The Sierra Nevada Shindig! w/Birdie Busch at Fergie’s June 5

In celebration of Philly Beer Week, Fergie’s will be hosting live music upstairs during each day of the big event. And tonight Philebrity will be hosting The Sierra Nevada Shindig! which will feature the music of folk songstress Birdie Busch. In preparation for her fourth full-length album, Busch is currently driving recording funds through Pledge Music, a site similar to Kickstarter that allows musicians the chance to donate a portion of their earnings to a charity of their choice. And since some of her donations will go to Music and Mentorship, a program that strives to provide a positive alternative for youths in the city of Philadelphia, it gives extra reason to support that effort. So when Birdie performs this evening at the Irish pub, it’s likely that you’ll hear more about it while you get a preview of some new tunes.
