Here are some excerpts from their bio as it appears on their web-page http://www.fishandbird.ca/ ...
Fish & Bird have been defying expectations for a long time. They formed in Victoria, BC in 2006 as an acoustic duo, comprised of Taylor Ashton (banjo, guitar, vocals) and Adam Iredale-Gray (fiddle). On their 2007 self titled debut, their take on 'folk' included original songs in odd time signatures and traditional murder ballads with rock beats. 2009's Left Brain Blues was a more mature exploration of the space between folk traditions and reckless creativity, with Ashton & Gray playing multiple instruments on each song, and toying with the formats that inspired them...
The band's 3rd album, Every Whisper is a Shout Across the Void, features the full ensemble and some of their strongest material yet, it redefines the Fish & Bird experience yet again. Where 2009's Left Brain Blues took listeners on a roller coaster ride of varied genres and instrumentation, Every Whisper comes off more like a live show, with all the band's influences and musical ideas woven tighter into a more cohesive sound. The arrangements are cleaner, the playing is stronger, and Ashton's singing is at its best, this time finding company in backing vocals from Guigueno and Iredale-Gray. Fiddler Adam Iredale-Gray is Fish & Bird's resident recording engineer. In the 2 years since Left Brain Blues, he has cut his teeth on a number of other recording projects for a handful of other western Canadian artists, and the experience shows on Every Whisper.
The album is more lyrically cohesive too. Expanding on themes hinted at on Left Brain Blues, Every Whisper explores the relationship between reality and perception - but not in the flaky, hippy-dippy way some might expect from bands with roots on BC's west coast and Vancouver island. Taylor Ashton's lyrics explore the fragility of human interactions and the fictions we all weave about our own worlds whether we acknowledge them or not.
Come on out and support a band you will be loving for a long time!!!
