Tin Bird Choir plays Pennsylvania Barn Rock.
Tin Bird Choir is the husband-and-wife duo of Eric and Heather Hurlock backed by musicians Josh Sceurman, Ellen Houle and Daniel Bower. They have earned growing acclaim in the Philadelphia region for their distinctive “alt-folk barn rock†sound. Rooted in the rural hills of Pennsylvania, their original songs are built with literate lyrics, organic harmonies, and melodies that range from lilting to urgent. It’s an old sound with a modern sensibility.
They were finalists in the World Cafe Live's Philly Rising competition, they've had the pleasure of playing live on 88.5 WXPN for Gene Shay, the legendary host of the long-running Folk Show (a staple of Philadelphia radio for over 40 years), this March they're bringing barn rock north of the border for Canadian Music Week in Toronto, and this summer they'll be playing the historic Philadelphia Folk Festival.
Eric and Heather have been playing music together for over ten years in the backwoods of Pennsylvania, the beaches of Assateague, the pubs of Scotland, and the streets and squares of Boston and Cambridge.TBC formed during the Spring of 2007 as members of the local musical community joined them in their barn for picking and playing. Soon the band was practicing weekly and gigging regularly, playing at venues all over southeastern Pennsylvania.
Currently the band is working on a new CD at Moonlight Forest Productions. This winter they'll be playing around Philladelphia and tightening up the sound for a busy and musical Spring and Summer.
