Louisville-based The Birdies are a "supergroup" of local musicians -- between them they can play at least ten instruments, though they are perfectly happy to sing Andrews Sisters-type harmonies to backing tracks or a backup band depending on the gig. Brigid Kaelin has appeared as a musical guest on NPR's "A Prairie Home Companion," has sold several thousand albums, and has played accordion and piano and musical saw for many other musicians, including Elvis Costello. Laura Ellis is an award-winning radio producer, and fronts the Louisville's 3-time-winning "Best Cover Band," the Billy Goat Strut Revue. Susan Crocker has played trumpet in various local bands, but you've mostly seen her on the stage of Louisville's award-winning theatre scene.
They formed The Birdies in 2015, sharing a love for vintage harmonies and having always wanted to work together. Louisville immediately embraced them, and they have already made four appearances on WFPK and have been very busy with private events.
