A blend of roots, reggae and folk, wound together with captivating hooks, solid grooves and striking harmonies.

Sydney artists black bird hum have emerged from the studio with their debut release “In Time” - a record that swings from gentle, thoughtful folk ballads to the type of big-band reggae that throws everything at you from horns to percussion to tripped-out synths and delay-drenched keys.

The album was one of the last to be mixed in Sydney’s famous BJB Studio’s in Surry Hills and was co-produced by singer Jon Panic and ARIA award-winning producer Tim Whitten (Powderfinger, The Panics, Augie March).

The band have shared the stage with the likes of Georgia Fair, Marshall and The Fro, Botanics, Tin Sparrow and The Salvagers; exciting fans from Sydney to Byron Bay and back.  Combined with a run of festival performances that includes back-to-back Peats Ridge Festivals, their reputation for an impressive live show is quickly building.

2012 has seen black bird hum shortlisted as finalists for the MusicOz Awards (blues & roots and acoustic singer/songwriter) and begin work on the video for the debut single release “Sleep”, as well as lock in dates for an East Coast tour (Byron, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Canberra, Melbourne) with the focus remaining as always on bringing their bright, energetic grooves to crowds at pubs, clubs and festivals alike.
