2021 marks ten years of our music duo, Strangebyrds.  The songs on our fifth studio album, Highway Islands were started in the fall of 2019 and through the eye-opening year of 2020. We took this time of canceled shows and tours and wrote and recorded twelve new songs in our home studio, Byrd Nest Recording. These twelve songs are a “landscape of songs” written in a time of great change and turbulence throughout our world.  They are songs of hope and also pinpoints of the ever-changing climate in our nation.  Our fans became and continue to be our lifelines supporting our “Blue Collar Folk-Americana” as never before and giving us new hope.
