Sweetbird is a throw back to the days before video when the music came first. The music is a blend of pop and contemporary folk that is reminiscient of Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, Paul Simon, Norah Jones, The Cowboy Junkies and Sarah McLachlan
Bio / Background
Connecticut-based Sweetbird is comprised of singer-songwriter Christine Yandell and guitarist-composer Steve Waite. Weaving an eclectic musical tapestry that eludes conventional labels, Sweetbird melds influences from folk, pop, rock and country to produce a unique sound that has an innocence and richness seldom heard today. Christine's songwriting is introspective and her voice has been described as "beautiful," "clear," and "natural." They are a perfect complement to Steve's lyrical songwriting and distinctive fingerpicking guitar style.
Sweetbird released their debut record, "Free Spirit Reflection" during the Summer of 2003 on Broadband Records, an independent Connecticut-based label. The album was recorded and co-produced by Grammy-nominated artist Paul Avgerinos, at Studio Unicorn, in Redding Connecticut. The record includes ten original compositions plus a cover of Nick Drake's inspired song, "From The Morning.

The CD is available for purchase at CDBaby.com and many fine digital distribution outlets (e.g, iTunes).
Sweetbird followed up their debut release with "Soul Fire," a record featuring nine original compositions plus two cover tunes. Soul Fire was released during Spring of 2005 on the Broadband Records label. The record features a horn section that includes trumpeter Don Harris (Tower of Power, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, James Taylor) and saxophonist Joe Meo. The record also features pedal steel guitar virtuoso John Widgren, pianist Nick Bariluk, and drummer Matt Moadel. Soul Fire was co-produced by Paul Avgerinos, who also played bass, cello, and keyboards on the record.
