Erin Zindle and the Ragbirds • Folk Rock
August 31 @ 7 PM
Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Erin Zindle joins us from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Erin Zindle & The Ragbirds are a four-piece, female-led, folk-rock-world fusion. They describe their music as “infectious global groove”. The musical roots of this group are complex – with Gypsy, Middle-Eastern, Americana, rock, and Latin influences, all stirred with a Celtic fiddler’s bow.
In live performances, the band incorporates variations on traditional African drum pieces; each member trading their instrument for a hand drum. The songs carry a positive message and include both pop hooks and improvised solos. The Ragbirds make use of numerous traditional folk instruments, blending them with modern sounds to create an infectious world groove rooted in the traditions of many cultures and eras.
The group has released five full-length studio albums, two live records, and one single; all self-produced and independently released. Their latest album, The Threshold & The Hearth, was released March 25, 2016 via Rock Ridge Music. Don’t miss out on the groove as Erin Zindle and the Ragbirds put on the grand finale of Lyrics on the Lawn 2023!
