The Bird and the Bee is an American indie pop/alternative duo from Los Angeles, California, consisting of Inara George ("the bird") and Greg Kurstin ("the bee"). The group was formed in 2006 and quickly captivated audiences with their idiosyncratic blend of sweet, melodic pop, infused with a keenly contemporary electronic flair. Inara George's airy vocals perfectly complement Greg Kurstin's polished production and arrangement skills, a talent he's also shared with artists like Adele, Kelly Clarkson, and Sia as a Grammy-winning producer.

The band's work often features a playful yet sophisticated approach to songwriting, evident in their original albums as well as their unique take on cover songs. Their release "Interpreting the Masters, Volume 2: (A Tribute to Van Halen)" showcases their ability to reimagine classics with a distinctive twist, paying homage to the rock legends with a light and infectious energy. Throughout their career, The Bird and the Bee have enjoyed critical acclaim for their innovative sound that experimentally bridges the gap between jazz, electropop, and indie. Whether through the kaleidoscopic textures of their album "Recreational Love" or the holiday-themed "Put Up the Lights," their magnetic union continues to produce an intriguing tapestry of sound that resonates with a growing fanbase.
