BIRDS and ARROWS create unique music that is "full of romance and energy", "enchanting", and "the kind you fall in love with". Their third full length record "Coyotes" is no exception. The Chapel Hill/Durham NC based trio worked with an impressive cast of local and national talent to create Coyotes. Robert Sledge of Ben Folds Five, Dirk Shumaker of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and James Wallace of Mount Shuma Moriah are just a few of the special guests that were involved in the making of this record. Produced and mixed by Chris Stamey of the dBs, "Coyotes" promises to be [1]irds and Arrows' best effort as a band to date. This new group of songs on "Coyotes"embrace the original folk spirit of Birds and Arrows, combined with the confidence and experience in songwriting that comes with playing music together for over 6 years. The group was formed in 2007 by husband and wife Andrea and Pete Connolly, who released 2 critically acclaimed EPs. In 2009, Josh Starmer joined the group on cello during the recording of the band's first full length record "Starmaker". In 2012 the band began recording its third full length release, Coyotes. The record is saturated with imagery from the bucolic surroundings of the Connolly's new home, a 19th-century school house-turned-cabin nestled in the count a half hour north of Durham, NC. Over the years, Birds and Arrows have developed a rich sound that is much more than the sum of their parts. The romance between Andrea and Pete's voices is distinctly captivating and intertwines with Josh's beautiful yet haunting cello melodies. Together they accomplish an elegant, warm sound that is truly their own. Their compelling and road el tested live show appeals to a surprisingly wide range of audiences; they are the cherished rock band for folk lovers and the favorite folk group for rock fans.
