We are often asked at shows, “You’re not from Arkansas. At all. Why Birds Over Arkansas?”
Around New Years 2011, thousands of redwing blackbirds fell out of the sky. Everyone seemed to have their own pet theory. In reality, it’s a pretty fascinating (and yes, sad) thing that happens now and then, and there’s not really a thorough explanation. We liked it as a name, partly because all other band names are taken.
The Aflockalypse! – The 5 Craziest Conspiracy Theories
Talented people who have worked with us:
Carbon Leaf – Awesome band from VA, and an incredible bunch of guys. We were lucky enough to have Carter Gravatt and Terry Clark from Carbon Leaf help us out with a guitar track for Comet, on the Behind The Lights EP. We’ve also been lucky to open some shows for them.
David Rhodes – David (best known for his work as long-time guitarist for Peter Gabriel) was kind enough to lay down a guitar track for The String.
George Hrab – George is a super-musician/science communicator/podcaster from Bethlehem PA who has agreed to help us out with a drum track on Comet. If you’re a Philly local, you should catch him sometime at a solo show or drumming for The Philadelphia Funk Authority.
Sargent-Thamm – Immensely talented artists and all around great people.
