About Me

david lamb introduced the first catalog of songs under the name brown bird in the winter of 2002-2003 to friends and family while unemployed and living in seattle. he returned to new england in 2003, and in the spring of 2004, he was joined by friends and former collaborators, jeremy and jerusha robinson, who would continue to be an integral part of brown bird's development over the next 5 years. that year they released their first ep, "tauto". a self-titled ep ensued the following spring. just before their first united states tour, brown bird remixed and combined the two eps into one cd titled, "tautology". their first full-length album, "such unrest", was released in the spring of 2007. in march of 2008 they recorded and released their second full-length album, "the bottom of the sea" on the portland, maine based label "peapod recordings".

currently, david is embarking on a solo tour in support of "the bottom of the sea". jeremy and jerusha are pursuing the development of their band "south china".
