"A pastiche of rock, blues, jazz, world and pop sounds that is instantly accessible...constantly creative." -Shaun Dale, Cozmik.com
Bird Mancini is an ambitious new project combining the talents of four Boston area music veterans from the groups The Sky Blues, Bangalore, The Roys and Four Piece Suit. Bird Mancini weaves distinctive, intriguing songs around a common thread of jazzy blues and rock, with diverse stylistic influences, surprising instrumentation and great vocals. Bird Mancini has three very different lead singers (one female, one male). They choose both electric and acoustic instruments and their album sports imaginative arrangements on clarinet, sax, fiddle, mandolin and a variety of exotic and Eastern instruments.
The core musicians of Bird Mancini are:
Ruby Bird vocals, keyboards, harmonica, melodica, accordio0n
Billy Carl Mancini vocals, electric and acoustic guitars
Sven Larson electric and stand-up bass, percussion
David Roy Kulik vocals, drums
The Bird Mancini artists have been seen and heard in the best Boston and New York clubs, concerts, and on television and radio for the past 10 years. Collectively, they have produced four critically acclaimed CD's, and they have backed up some of the finest in the business-most notably, Lou Reed, Dr. John, Johnny Copeland, Gregg Allman, David Crosby and Jonathan Edwards.
CULTURE SHOCKER E-ZINE REVIEW
Today I realized that the soul of good old fashion music still lives.
And it lives in the productions of artists like those who make up Bird
Mancini. This band's unique composition consists of three amazingly talented vocalists. That's right, three. And each one takes their turn at the mic, belting out powerful notes. Of note, the female vocalist Ruby Bird, has an amazing rough rich voice that will give you goose bumps. The vocals are complimented by equally powerful and well-performed instrumentals, including amazing guitar and bass playing.
The group's sound comfortably nestles itself between a big band, blues/jazz and country sound. Where less talented artists have failed, Bird Mancini have made a truly unique sound that is all their own.
