Tony Bird

"There is no one like Tony Bird, his intensity mesmerizes audiences and the poetic beauty of his songs lingers in your mind long after that extraordinary night. If there is one concert you should not miss at Stone Soup this year, this is the concert." - Richard Walton, longtime President and MC of Stone Soup Coffee House, RI

"After a too-long absence, Tony Bird performed for the Princeton Folk Music Society this month (Jan. '05) and it was thrilling to hear his unique voice and style again. Whether he is contrasting the incredible beauty of his native Africa with the horrible legacy of its politics or singing his impressions of life in Manhattan, where he has now lived for nearly half of his life, Tony's music and the poetry of his lyrics are still extraordinary. We loved him." -- Justin Kodner

"Brilliantly original songwriter Tony Bird... wonderfully fuses African and European folk styles into songs that are clever, fun, urgent." -- The Boston Globe
