Bio

Song Samples

 

Influenced by Appalachian mountain music, contemporary outsider folk, and Library of Congress recordings of their great-great uncle, I.G. Greer, sisters Laura and Meg Baird have been performing in and around Philadelphia since 2001. Pairing their natural sibling harmonies with intimate acoustic guitar and banjo playing, their collection of songs includes haunting versions of traditional favorites, ballads and original compositions. Meg is also a founding member of Espers and recently released her first solo album, Dear Companion, on Drag City.

Most recently, the Baird Sisters self-released Lonely Town, recorded by Jeff Zeigler at Uniform Recording in Philadelphia in 2008.
