Brown Bird was an American folk duo known for their rich blend of roots music that encompassed elements of folk, blues, and Americana. The group was originally formed in 2003 in Seattle, Washington, but became most closely associated with Providence, Rhode Island. The core of Brown Bird was the deeply connected partnership of David Lamb and MorganEve Swain, who combined their talents to create a sound characterized by intricate guitar work, haunting melodies, and thoughtful lyrics.

The music of Brown Bird evolved over a series of albums, from the early days of "Tautology" and "Such Unrest," where they began to define their unique fusion of folk and indie sounds, to the mature and powerful statements found in "The Devil Dancing" and "Salt For Salt." Their music often explored themes of nature, life's struggles, and existential meditations, capturing a sense of both beauty and darkness. Tragically, David Lamb passed away from leukemia in 2014, and "Axis Mundi" was released posthumously as their final album. MorganEve Swain continued to maintain the legacy of Brown Bird, ensuring that the soulful music they created continues to resonate with audiences long after their last notes echoed. The "The Devil Dancing (10th Anniversary Edition)" stands as both a celebration of their music and a tribute to Lamb's enduring influence.
