“Lush, sophisticated arrangements and inventive, genre-swerving musicianship.” Manchester City Life.

With bluesy vocals, swinging rhythms and poignant lyrics, Bells in the Birches offer a quirky and emotive blend of US and UK musical styles. Think Laura Marling with Johnny Cash’s backing band. Bells in the Birches make music which is at once, both vulnerable and defiant with songs about the tragedies and triumphs of humanity, love and compassion, and of the uncertainty and fragility of life.

Recent support slots for Lady Lamb the Beekeeper and Paper Aeroplanes have brought them to a wider audience and added them to the  list of Manchester's 'must-see' female pop-folkies.

Their debut For All Seasons EP was released in June 2013. Their second EP is due out in early 2015.
