Here it is folks! Expect a few minor tweaks/additions in the coming days/week.

We’re very excited to have a few last minute additions that I think some people will be excited about.

Exhibit A: Mimicking Birds

This Portland, OR trio recorded their debut album throughout 2009 in the home studio of Modest Mouse (and Ugly Casanova) frontman, Isaac Brock. This lovely record was produced by Isaac Brock & Clay Jones and it was released YESTERDAY (March 9th) on Glacial Pace.

Listen to the whole album here.

Exhibit B: Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band

I know what you’re asking – aren’t these guys a pretty edgy indie rock band? Why are they playing Birds on a Wire? Well – Birds on a Wire is all about excellent music & though our focus is on indie folk and roots music, we want to have a little something for everyone. And who better to scratch that NW rock & roll itch than Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band?!

Here’s the stunning music video that really got me excited about these guys:

I’m sure it doesn’t matter to you what Pitchfork or Pop Matterss thinks about Barton Carroll because, like us, you’re all about the music. That’s why we’re posting this awesome video for you. Barton’s been a hired gun in bands like Crooked Fingers, Dolorean, and Azure Ray and we’re delighted that on short notice he’s been willing to come out!

Chuckanut Drive’s been a staple underground country act in the Northwest for years and we at Birds on a Wire have been listening to them for years. They’re changing their name to Stephen Ray Leslie & the Crooked Mile, but they can’t fool us!  Enjoy this Chuckanut Drive music video from 2007 and get excited!

We’re stoked to have Final Spins coming to the festival! Check ‘em out live @ KEXP:

Check out one of the latest Daytrotter sessions from Birds on a Wire Fest band Frontier Ruckus!

Seattle music blog Sound on the Sound had some very nice things to say about our festival. Check it out here. Thanks Josh!

I’m beside myself with excitement about this. Sera Cahoone is one of my very favorite bands – particularly live. Here’s what I’m talking about:

Frontier Ruckus will be bringing their infectious energy all the way from Michigan to this year’s Birds on a Wire folk festival!
Here’s a little taste:

We’re pleased to have Damien Jurado at Birds on a Wire 2010! Enjoy this video:
