Morningbird is a powerhouse quartet (sometimes trio) with an eclectic vibe. Partners in life and music, multi-instrumentalists Jill Burkes (vocals, violin, guitar) and Rob Wheeler (vocals, guitar) bring a rare chemistry to their performances. Supplemented by Shane Kingsland on Bass and Jim Pietila on Percussion, the band creates a seamless fusion of folk, rock & country stylings. Rooted in an authenticity that is both grounded and free spirited, their music has been described by critics as folk-Americana, sometimes offering a gospel edge or Appalachian harmonic structure.  The group is string driven, performing traditional & original song.
