Place is
important. Bird By Snow was formed in the weather,
wild, and little towns of Northern California. Cold water, dark
woods. Fog in the branches, sunlight through a Pelican-wing.
Abundance in all directions. This is the place that
has informed the aesthetic of the whole Lo-fi, Pacific Northwest
Indie Scene. Bird By Snow can be seen there too, but not
limited to one view, instead at home in the limitless, expanding
west. --- You’ll find genres bent as if light through
a prism. Song-craft as ritual, where themes of primitivism,
pagan meditations, and transcendent dronings breathe deeply.
Only one constant member: words, tunes, recording and much playing
by Fletcher Tucker.
Bird By
Snow has been performing and recording since 2005; regularly
traveling the US and Europe on seven tours (so far), sometimes
performing solo, sometimes with a band, and occasioning to share
the stage with many lovely people along the way... Mt. Eerie,
Julie Doiron, Ariel Pink, Daniel Higgs, Wildbirds & Peacedrums
and many more. In addition to the handsome tours Bird By Snow
has performed at a handful of international festivals including
several (((Folkyeah!))) happenings and festivals in
Big Sur California, The Festival of Endless Gratitude
(2009) in Copenhagen Denmark, and (most notably) at the auspicious
Tanned Tin Festival (2007) in Castellón Spain,
alongside new giants like the Sea and Cake, Deerhoof,
and the Dirty Projectors.
