Swell, just swell, thanks.

About Me

The Carrier Pigeons create a music that is a unique blend of styles and instrumentation; as so many things from Portland seem to be.We have been accused of sounding like The Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Decemberists, and R.E.M. ...whether these accusations are true or not, would be best left to your ears. What do you hear?We'll be playing all around Portland this year, so come to a show and say hello. Here's to 2008... Best wishes to you all.

Influences: ...include, but are not limited to Nickel Creek, Pink Martini, Rich Mullins, Sixpence None the Richer, Three Leg Torso and the local weather.
Sounds Like: Django Reinhardt, Bob Dylan, and Miles Davis formed a garage band sometime in the late 1920s. They played lots of disco music, but got tired of all the lights. The music changed. It got better. Or maybe just different.
