A brief history of Sleepybird

 

The Band

 

 

 

Nick Tertel

 

 

It all started in late 2003, when Nick Tertel had an idea for a project named "Sleepybird"after seeing a drawing in a 19th century Audubon North American Bird Field Guide.

Jaime Legato


 

Longtime collaborator Jaime Legato added harmony and texture to the sound that came as a big surprise to Nick. He decided Jaime could stay.

Jason Dryden


 

There was something missing... the bottom! Upright bassist Jason Dryden fit right in!

Dustin Malone

 

Dustin Malone was added in January of 2005. He has been a fixture at every Sleepybird show ever since.
Elizabeth Landis

 

Elizabeth Landis joined in the summer of 2006. She will appear on a Sleepybird EP that is to be released in early 2007.
