The Stray Birds are visiting Boston in anticipation of their upcoming record, Magic Fire which was produced by Larry Campbell, which will be available on August 16th. The band features the harmonies and multi-instrumental talents of Maya de Vitry, Oliver Craven, and Charles Muench.
Magic Fire builds on the success of The Stray Birds' 2014 Yep Roc debut, Best Medicine, which was hailed by NPR's World Café for its "strong harmonies and sharp songwriting" and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart. Guitar World praised their "heartfelt creativity," while the Philadelphia City Paper called the band "stunning," and Mountain Stage applauded their singular ability to "successfully draw on the rich traditions of American folk music while still sounding modern." It was that unique formula that first brought them national attention and fueled their breakout in 2012, when their self-titled/self-released debut landed amongst NPR's Top Ten Folk/Americana Albums of the Year and earned them major festival performances everywhere from MerleFest to Scotland's Celtic Connections.
Magic Fire is currently available for pre-order on iTunes. You can also purchase an autographed physical copy here. Catch The Stray Birds on Monday, July 11th with shows at 7 and 11 PM.
