Bowerbirds is an indie folk band that originates from Raleigh, North Carolina. Formed in 2006, the core of the group centers around singer-songwriter Phil Moore, violinist/accordionist Beth Tacular, and multi-instrumentalist Mark Paulson. The band has been known for its blend of rich acoustics, introspective lyrics, and an affinity for the natural world, lending a bucolic and often haunting atmosphere to their music. Moore and Tacular, who were romantically involved for a period, often drew inspiration from their lives together in the woods, living simply and sustainably, which permeates their songwriting and musical themes.

Over the years, Bowerbirds have released several critically acclaimed albums, with their debut, "Hymns For a Dark Horse," laying a firm foundation for their ethereal sound. Follow-up albums like "Upper Air" and "The Clearing" deepened their artistry, exploring personal growth and relationship dynamics against the backdrop of their signature earthy folk instrumentation. After a hiatus, the band returned with "Endless Chase: 2020 Singles" and their most recent album, "becalmyounglovers," which was released in 2021. The latter album delves into the complexities of love and the passage of time, showcasing the band's ongoing evolution in their sonic journey. Singles like "The Party" and "All This Rain" continue to cement Bowerbirds' place as a thoughtful and evocative presence within the indie folk scene.
