BLACKBIRDS came into being in 2005 when a 30+ year veteran of the Chicago music scene joined forces with a former student, Claire, to explore ways of blending voices in original compositions. When Claire left town, Jasmine Quintana joined up, bringing a very strong female vocal presence into the music. The band exists for 2 reasons: to have fun and to raise funds, mostly for African relief efforts. Thanks for listening.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Blackbirds with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Endlines and Punchrhymes "
“Endlines and Punchrhymes” is the latest release by the talented, Modern Folk group Blackbirds. Right from the start this album will take you to a place where you can relax and enjoy the emotive lyrics and soft percussive beats. Lead vocals are rich and pure as you can hear on songs such as “This Street, That Man” and “Can’t Find My Way Home.” Heartfelt lyrics reflect memories of times past on the song “Hometown Heroes” while acoustic guitar gently swirls around this interesting melody. As an added bonus, check out the terrific remakes of “The Mighty Quinn” (original by Manfred Mann) and “Cinnamon Girl” (original by Neil Young) as these songs offer a great nostalgic throwback. Superb production as the instruments come across clean and crisp and never overpowers the laid-back vocals. If you’re a fan of Folk music, then take a ride and listen to the wonderful compilations of the terrific album, “Endlines and Punchrhymes.” -Diane and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |

“Unlicensed” by the talented Blackbirds is a beautiful collection of modern-folk tracks! Don’t be deceived by this CD’s title – the Blackbirds are fully licensed in the field of creating folk songs that leave a lasting impression! The elegant vocals of both of Blackbirds’ singers mix to create stunning harmonies and duets, as demonstrated in “Loving Arms.” Inspiring lyrics of personal growth, strength, and love adds yet one more invaluable asset to this CD. What’s more, every track on this CD is graced with amazing instrumentation. Polished with careful production, this CD is the perfect creation for fans of Neil Young and Indigo Girls! -Xavier P. and RadioIndyCheck out Blackbirds's music on RadioIndy.com with link to purchase and links to popular sites |
