Who is Red Bird?
Red Bird is a combination of R&B and roots music communicated through powerhouse vocals and mind-bending guitar features. Often joyful, always honest - you will believe these songs were written just for you.
All the musicians in Red Bird have played concerts and festivals around the world (Spain, France, England, Canada, Italy, China, the US, etc.) Red Bird was formed out of mutual respect, friendship, and genuine love of playing music together. And it really shows in the quality of the performance and the contagious fun they have playing together. They take the stage intending to win the audience by capturing their attention, captivating them, taking them on a journey from the first note to the last.

What people are saying
“Just interviewed my favorite Portland band! If you like the music of Bonnie Raitt, Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone, Patsy Cline or Nina Simone, you will love Red Bird’s music. ”
— Stephanie Kralevich, More Good Day Oregon (Fox 12)
“The result is a band that is unabashedly soulful with elements of blues and roots. Gregg’s formal vocal training is evident in her ability to trade in both tenderness and sheer force.”
“She’s got this great voice, forceful one minute, tender the next, controlled yet simmering with feeling.”
