The glorious foot-stomping duo of David Lamb and MorganEve Swain, better known as Brown Bird, have released the first track from their forthcoming self-produced album, Fits of Reason. Due out Apr-2, the Rhode Islanders’ 4th offering continues to refine their sound from the foundations of blues and American roots music, utilizing the bare bones foot-percussion, upright bass, violin and cello that they have become known for. Lamb’s lyrical mastery hasn’t waned at all, and we now hear Swain’s vocal presence expanding.
The never-tiring duo spent the majority of 2012 on the road and continue to pound the pavement in 2013 with a national tour through the spring. Check their full tour schedule below.
