“On the composition end, the album is authentically folk with a string of pure country running throughout. With beautiful guitar riffs and violin solos, the music could stand alone even without the profound lyrics. Anyone who enjoys a good acoustic folk song will enjoy it. Listeners can hear running rivers, the sound of Colorado's beloved mountains and the soul of the true natural landscape.” - Katrina Leibee

“The gentle mandolin picking and the cooing acoustic guitar lines fall together in a gorgeous cascade, like a serene creek babbling in the woods. Over top, Paul’s smooth and steady voice carries a sense of sincerity that’s a true rarity. ” - Joe Vitagliano
“With careful songwriting and the musicianship to back it up, Birds of Play deliver an all-encompassing evening of sincere entertainment. Storytelling, humor, delicate vocal harmonies, and occasional bird calls all add to a carefully-painted pastiche of Americana roots music.” - Tom Nading

Birds of Play
Birds of Play is a Telluride, CO-based musical collaboration born from a mutual love of desert canyons, raging rivers, rocky mountaintops, and juice picnics. These multi-instrumentalists and dearest of friends effortlessly weave together a unique tapestry of blues, bluegrass, folk, and funk into a glorious blend of humor, honesty, and harmony.
With a dynamic mix of sentimentality and playfulness, Birds of Play's original music will take you on a joyous journey filled with tales of love lost and found, ballads of wild places, and the radical idea that being happy for no reason at all is reason enough.
