    Hi all,

    Dublin/Kildare based all-female band Hvmmingbyrd release our debut album produced by Aisling Jarvis on 13th November, with a launch in Whelan's, Wexford Street, Dublin on the same date. Our sound has been described as 'melodic soulful indie-folk', with a big focus on two and three part harmonies.

    Our debut single The One I Love (feat. Liam Funzo McDermott) is a dreamy, harmony-soaked ballad which has already picked up airplay on Highland Radio, 98FM and Dublin's Q102. It's available to download now on iTunes, or you can listen to it on Spotify here.

    Thanks for listening!

    We're delighted to say that Hvmmingbyrd's debut album is now available to download on iTunes and stream on Spotify, as well as a host of other sites. Hard copies are also available for the same price as a download, if you would like one send me a PM or email us at hvmmingbyrd (at) gmail . com. Or just come to our launch in Whelans tonight, free entry :)

    Our sound is melodic folk-pop with influences from Simon And Garfunkel, The Mamas And Papas and The Staves, to name but a few. If that's your thing give us a listen, you won't be disappointed!

    On Friday, 20th February, Hvmmingbyrd launched our new single 'I'll Follow You' in aid of Aoibheann's Pink Tie.

    Hard copies are available in all Carroll's Gift Stores at €2.99 and it is also available to download from iTunes with all proceeds going to APT, a charity which practically and financially supports families affected by cancer.



    Album Success

    Since launching our self-titled album 'Hvmmingbyrd' in November, we've enjoyed being Marty Whelan's Recommend on RTE's Lyric FM, a no.13 slot in the iTunes singer/songwriter charts and a slot at Whelan's Ones To Watch Festival. Check some of our very positive reviews:

    “Surrounded by new releases Hvmmingbyrd leapt out at me and flew into my heart… A real pleasure to find such a rare talent.” Marty Whelan, RTÉ lyric fm

    "What Hvmmingbyrd have crafted is nothing short of a stunning debut album that is brimming with originality and bursting with sentiment, and one that will propel them on to bigger stages in 2015." Goldenplec.com

    "Their heart warming tunes are stylistically diverse and full of texture. Their debut album released in November 2014, was simply stunning, one of the best of the year." Pleasing Features Music

    "Their seemingly intrinsic talent for harmony makes their music sound effortless. With voices smooth as silk, listening to Hvmmingbyrd feels like basking in the glow of a warm fire on a winter’s evening." InDublin Magazine

    "Full of rich harmonies that intertwine with simple classic melodies, this is a real pleasure to listen to…Hvmmingbyrd’s sound transcends pigeon-holing into one particular genre.” Ceol Collective
