Mrs. Greenbird

Mrs. Greenbird is a German folk-country duo known for their warm harmonies and nostalgic storytelling. They first captured attention in 2012 by winning the German talent show *Unser Star für Baku*, which earned them the chance to represent Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest (though they later withdrew due to creative differences). The original lineup featured Sarah Nücken’s crystalline vocals paired with Steffen Brückner’s guitar work and harmonies, creating a cozy blend of Americana and European folk. After Sarah’s departure in 2017, Steffen continued the project with new vocalist Marisa, keeping their signature sound alive.

Their music feels like a dusty road trip through vintage Americana, with releases like *When I Was a Horse* and *Eclipse* blending heartfelt lyrics and twangy melodies. Tracks like “Schlaflied” and “Let Me Borrow Your Shoes” showcase their knack for intimate, story-driven tunes, while their cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” adds a rustic twist to the alt-rock classic. Mrs. Greenbird remains a charming fixture in Germany’s folk scene, perfect for fans of campfire singalongs with a touch of wanderlust.
