Starling Arrow is an all-star cast of spirit-folk songstresses featuring Leah Song and Chloe Smith of Rising Appalachia, Ayla Nereo, Tina Malia, and Marya Stark. The members of the female-fronted super-group Starling Arrow share a common devotion for the love of songwriting, which they elegantly captured in their debut album, Cradle, coming out in January 2023. These artists are brought together by a deep mutual love of beauty, the power of music as a sanctuary, and the deep joy of encountering the muse. Powerhouse songwriters in their own right, and innovative leaders within the industry, this joining is a potent gift of synergy.

Pre-save ‘Wild Sweet’ out Friday, Oct 7 - https://sym.ffm.to/wild-sweet

The Amazing Few are more of a collective then a band but more like a movement then a collective!  They Play psycho-POP. This group of like-minded separate individuals, have been collected over the course of the last six years. The songs are expressive and explosive! The music pulls from Ska, Jazz, Punk, Pop, using dramatic chord progressions with up beat energy while throwing out powerful twists of lyrical tales.

The band write songs about everyday situations, bank robberies gone right, love lost, loved gained, people run over by vans on highway 89a and anything that moves.

Songs like Bruce Lee Movie describes the first 4 min 32 seconds of “ Fists of Fury” and Russian Girls is a love story about girl meets a boy, boy grows up and meets the lady and chases her to India. Ric O’ Barry is about the famous dolphin (Flipper) trainer and his flight to save dolphins (he actually flew in from Florida to see the band perform in Dublin) Each song is a story describe through theatrics in music.
The Amazing Few live shows are a must see it to believe it experience.  Interaction is an understatement. Their enthusiasm has made them a festival favorite! Each show is completely different.

The band’s wildly different, excitable songwriting has been compared to The B-52′s,The Clash, Presidents of the United States of America, Frank Zappa, Pavement, Frank Black, The Mouldy Peaches, Heavy Vegetable, Weezer and Beastie Boys but with horns.

What the press say:

"Weird and wonderful "
The Metro

“The Amazing Few are a brilliant live band they really get the crowd going"
The Irish Times

"These guys are a true indie band. Not doing it for money, fame or anything other than the love of playing music. They've been doing the rounds around Ireland for years now, and have moved up in the world playing cool festivals around Europe. If they're ever playing near you, go see them. It's a real spectacle to see live"
Pretentious indie boys

"…this set was dramatic and vastly entertaining, their stage presence was performative, visual, spectacular, and full of those cool mood-enhancing ska-like brass outbursts" - Claire Rushe Connected Magazine

"Imagine the Juno soundtrack gone wild, heaps of people crammed onto a stage, brass instruments mixed with guitars and drums, a narrator and a vocalist, all in a barrage of balloons, silly string, card tricks and plain ole, uninhibited fun. This is The Amazing Few, and they are a wonderfully weird and wacky, Dublin–based delight.” - Eimear Duignan, Note media

Alannah Thornburgh is an award-winning instrumentalist and composer from the wild west of Ireland with a focus on traditional Irish harp. Alannah’s music explores her family heritage, reimagining melodies from the Irish harping and American folk & jazz traditions. This cross-genre interaction and juxtaposition of old melodies with contemporary harmonies and technique is interwoven throughout her music, described as being ‘unforced, fluid and utterly at home in her own sound’ (The Irish Times).
