Back by popular demand! We will be appearing at Harper's Bar and Grill in Tarzana on August 6th at 9:00 PM. See the Show Calendar page for more information.
The Byrds Collective have just finished a successful month. We played Rusty's Surf Ranch May 28 to a packed house and then two days later, the world famous Coach House to a crowd of over 300. June 16th we wowed them at Skinny's Lounge. And on June 19th we headlined a show with four other acts at Paladino's.
We hope to have some video on the last show up real soon. It appears that a professional videographer saw that we were playing and is a big fan of the Byrds. He came down and shot the footage on his own.

We are taking a break from live performances right now and finishing up some new Byrds recordings. We have the basic tracks down for The Ballad Of Easy Rider/Wasn't Born To Follow, Hickory Wind, Bells Of Rhymney and Feel A Whole Lot Better.
Once the vocals are done and the over-dubs are complete, we are recording a CD of original songs (of course in the vein of the Byrds) along with some other songs written by friends and other well know artists. We hope to have this completed by the end of summer.
Sales of the single My Back Pages are going along well, with sales reports as far as New Zealand.
Thanks to everyone that has supported us and encouraged us!
Two New Songs Released!
Hey everyone, as promised we've been busy recording. I'd like to give you a sneak peak at two of the finished tracks. Hickory Wind and our medley of The Ballad Of Easy Rider..Wasn't Born To Follow.
Hickory Wind
This song features Dave Michaels on B-Bender Guitar, Vocals and background vocals. Mark plays the famous Rickenbacker 12 string ala Roger McGuinn. Dave Denk does a superb job on drums as always. Pat fills the bottom out on bass and Hammond organ.
I can't say enough about what a great job Dave M. did on the recording and the production of this song.
The Ballad Of Easy Rider..Wasn't Born To Follow
This song features Mark on vocals with Dave and Ken adding the backing vocals. This medley always goes over well at our show and I really think we captured the essence of the '60's with this recording. You are really in for a treat with Marks performance. Dave D. again on drums. (BTW we were very lucky in finding him to replace our last drummer. We never missed a beat!) Pat on bass and strings.
I hope you enjoy these songs. We have more ready to hatch (yeah that's a pun)
I just want to say to everyone in the group, that they did a great job and Dave M. again, a very well recorded and produced selection.
