Kingdom of Birds
Kingdom of Birds have been grabbing the attention of unsuspecting audiences, international music blogs, and well-known musicians alike. At an age when most kids are only becoming aware of popular music, Kingdom of Birds (ages 11-16) released their fourth collection of original songs Glitz (recorded by Aaron Holmberg, formerly of the Tragically Hip’s Bathouse Studio). They have played over 50 shows, and have opened for acts such as Sarah Harmer, and Partner. Kingdom of Birds has been played on CBC, been a featured Spotify ‘Fresh Find’, performed on CP24’s Breakfast, and have played Toronto’s Field Trip Music and Arts Festival. KOB opened the 2016 edition of Sarah Harmer’s and Luther Wright’s annual holiday rock show, and guitarist/vocalist/principal songwriter Ása Berezny toured with the Hidden Cameras, a trip that included a stop at legendary Massey Hall (where she shared the stage with the likes of Feist and Ron Sexsmith). The band returned to the studio this past year and the resulting album is out and amazing and press and radio around the world agreed with adds on Spotify tastemaker playlists such as Last Day Deaf, Movimento Country, Electric Sound of Joy, Underground Beats, Mystic Sons’ New Music Discovery, Delit Radio (France), Talk About Pop Music, Indiebox, NotYourFanMyRadio, Indeflagration and many more:
“...we sure do want to know what kind of water these fabulous indie artists are drinking. Ása, Sam, and Ewan make fabulous music together.”
