American Trashbird is an arrangement of familiar faces in the Monterey, California music scene. This specific species of bird can often be heard singing in beautiful harmony, collecting rustic rhythms for their nest of trash and class. Pure and understated; somewhere between the quaint seaside villas and the middle-American ghost town dive bars. Recycling forgotten refuse from the bins of blues rock, the richness of roots music, and some liberties with Latin beats they have forged a cry of their own.


"It's well put together, it has great vocal harmonies, it has traditional, yet well used instrumentation. It's simple in structure yet still has enough changing parts and sections to keep me interested."
— Reverb Nation Review

“For so much talent and varied experience, (American) Trashbird’s musical direction is cohesive–and evolving. ”
